Tsokos is facing ten allegations related to the operations of CyBC, including mismanagement of tenders and changes in companies that affect the budget. An investigator will examine if there is corruption or waste of public funds and abuse of power. Many decisions at CyBC have been put on hold due to Tsokos’ absence.
