Police investigation concludes the Santi case file contains fabricated evidence

The Cyprus Police leadership, represented by Chief Themistos Arnaoutis and spokesman Byron Byronos, announced the conclusion of an investigation into the so-called 'Santi file'. The probe determined that the messages and allegations, which previously implicated public officials and judicial figures in corruption, were fabricated and forged. Legal experts such as Achilleas Emilianides have noted that while the primary narrative has collapsed, critical questions regarding the motives, origins of the material, and the identity of those involved remain unanswered. The investigation failed to clarify why specific individuals were targeted or who operated the 'user 6' account mentioned in the messages. Legal analysts suggest that the next phase of the process will likely involve potential criminal investigations into the publication of false information and forgery. Criminal lawyer Andreas Christou noted that while no immediate arrests have been made, potential charges could include providing false information to authorities and public harm. Observers emphasize that full transparency through the release of the complete police report is necessary to restore public trust in state institutions.
