‘Investigate church donations for money laundering’

The attorney-general’s office in Cyprus has appointed two investigators, Ninos Kekkos and George Papaioannou, to examine criminal offenses related to an ongoing scandal involving monks. MPs have urged the money laundering unit (Mokas) to investigate the church following revelations about monks paying for social media posts to increase cash flow. Justice Minister Marios Hartsiotis has committed to a thorough investigation of the scandal. Allegations have emerged involving the far-right Elam party leader Christos Christou, former police chief Kypros Michaelides, Mokas, and the police. Concerns were raised about €800,000 in cash found at the Osiou Avvakoum monastery and the handling of the money. MPs have suggested that the church might be involved in money laundering, citing donations from Russian oligarchs and Malaysian businessman Jho Low. The church’s financial dealings, including those with foreign donors, are under scrutiny, with calls for a more rigorous investigation into the source of the funds. There are also allegations of police misconduct in the handling of the money transfer operation related to the scandal.

Pattichion Park redevelopment gets partial go-ahead after wildlife concerns

Plans to revamp Larnaca’s Pattichion Park were initially halted due to public opposition and concerns over bird nesting season. However, an agreement between the Larnaca Municipality and wildlife authorities has allowed some construction to resume with restrictions to avoid disrupting wildlife. Limited construction activities permitted between March and June include repairing the Pattichion Amphitheatre, removing formwork at the cafeteria building, constructing parallel parking along Ipirou Street, and building a modified car park near Artemidos Avenue with fewer spaces to protect trees. A pre-construction wildlife check is required for the car park construction to ensure no active nests are disturbed.
