Legal Service and Anti-Corruption Authority at odds over Katsounotos
The Legal Service and the Anti-Corruption Authority were in conflict over the decision not to prosecute former police drug squad chief Michalis Katsounotos. The Anti-Corruption Authority recommended a criminal investigation against Katsounotos for refusing to answer questions during an investigation, but the attorney-general declined the request. The Anti-Corruption Authority believes that allowing witnesses to remain silent during questioning would harm their investigations and effectiveness.
