New Video Sparks Controversy in Cyprus, Echoes 'Golden Passport' Scandal

A newly released video in Cyprus has sparked intense reactions, reminiscent of the Al Jazeera 'golden passport' scandal. Andreas Pittatzis, a key figure in the previous case, commented that the presumption of innocence appears to be violated once again. In his post, Pittatzis emphasizes that the video is likely a product of editing and that those allegedly involved are not given the opportunity to defend themselves. He also criticizes the swift condemnation by the media and the public before any official investigation. He calls for the release of the unedited footage to reveal the truth.
