Corruption probe against Anastasiades to start tomorrow
The probe into corruption allegations against President Anastasiades, raised by investigative journalist Makarios Drousiotis in his book “Mafia State,” starts tomorrow. Drousiotis, a former aide to Anastasiades, has written three books accusing the political elite of corruption. A special investigative panel has been formed, led by Australian expert Gabrielle Louise MacIntyre, to explore the allegations in the book. Former President Nicos Anastasiades is implicated in controversial dealings, including with Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev. One focus of the investigation is allegations of surveillance and misconduct within the Cyprus Police, as detailed by Drousiotis.
