This is because the circulation of audio from such recordings is considered highly intrusive. The legality of the CCTV footage collection is uncertain, affecting its online distribution. Nicolaidou has requested police to investigate the placement of these cameras, their recording locations, and whether their installation infringes on third-party rights without consent. This inquiry follows the circulation of a video showing a monk hitting a woman with a belt, leading to police seizing the CCTV footage. The police are in possession of several videos from the monastery&#8217;s CCTV. Since March 8, when police began investigating financial offenses at the monastery, scandals involving sex, fake miracles, and money laundering have emerged. Nicolaidou&#8217;s office has received complaints from individuals identifiable in the CCTV footage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4498,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1693,2276,1240,3,250,2274,2153,1060,1946,1118,184,1853,1354,1812,1371,1513,2275,1944],"class_list":["post-4497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cyprus","tag-bishopric-of-tamassos","tag-cctv-footage","tag-clear","tag-cyprus","tag-google","tag-illegality","tag-monastery","tag-money-laundering","tag-monk","tag-osiou-avakoum-monastery","tag-police","tag-possession","tag-release","tag-rights","tag-scandals","tag-sex","tag-visual-material","tag-woman"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"<!--
