Corruption authority completes investigation into Mafia State allegations

The Independent Authority Against Corruption is set to deliver a 3,000-page report and extensive evidence regarding the 'Mafia State' book allegations to Attorney General Giorgos Savvides and Tax Commissioner Sotiris Markidis on Monday, June 22. The documents detail allegations involving former President Nicos Anastasiades and other officials during his tenure. Following the delivery, the Legal Service's council will evaluate the findings to determine the next steps, including the potential appointment of independent criminal investigators. Former President Anastasiades has scheduled a press conference for Tuesday to address these findings. Meanwhile, political parties AKEL and Volt have organized a protest outside the Legal Service in Nicosia on June 22, demanding the resignations of Attorney General Giorgos Savvides and Deputy Attorney General Savvas Angelides. Critics argue that the current leadership of the Legal Service is compromised due to their previous roles in the Anastasiades government, and protesters demand an independent inquiry and full accountability for all suspects named in the report.
