Independent Criminal Investigator Appointed to Probe Controversial Video

The Attorney General of Cyprus has appointed an independent criminal investigator, Andreas Paschalidis, to investigate the case of the video posted on 'X' concerning potential interference in the Republic of Cyprus. The appointment was deemed necessary due to a conflict of interest, as the Presidential Palace is involved in the matter. The investigation will examine the authenticity of the video, the circumstances of its publication, and any potential political motives. Mr. Clerides emphasized that the appointment of an independent investigator enhances the seriousness and credibility of the findings.
