Corruption authority releases report on the 'Mafia State' allegations

On Monday, June 22, the Independent Authority Against Corruption delivered a 3,000-page report regarding the 'Mafia State' case to the Law Office and the Tax Commissioner. The report investigates allegations of corruption and misconduct tied to the administration of former President Nikos Anastasiades. Key officials, including the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General, have recused themselves from the evaluation process due to their past roles under the former president and personal affiliations. The case is now set to be assessed by a Prosecutor’s Council, while the Tax Commissioner will conduct targeted audits. Political parties AKEL and Volt have organized a protest for June 22 outside the Law Office to demand an independent criminal investigation and the resignation of the current Attorney General and his deputy. Former President Anastasiades is scheduled to hold a press conference on Tuesday, June 23, to present his response to the findings. Reports indicate the investigation covers potential offenses including state land misuse and interference in financial inquiries, with some matters potentially falling outside the 12-year statutory limit for tax audits.
