Andreas Mavroyiannis calls for investigation into corruption allegations

Andreas Mavroyiannis, a former presidential candidate in the February 2023 elections, has officially called for a comprehensive investigation into corruption allegations. These allegations stem from the book 'Mafia State' by Makarios Drousiotis, which previously sparked significant public debate. In November 2022, Mavroyiannis sent a letter to the Independent Authority Against Corruption requesting a probe into these claims. The Authority has now concluded that there are prima facie cases requiring further investigation to determine if criminal offenses have occurred. Mavroyiannis emphasized the need for a serious and composed approach by society to ensure accountability. He specifically warned against the politicization of the investigation and the settling of scores. Furthermore, he urged all parties to respect institutional processes and the principles of transparency and justice. The process remains focused on determining whether any illegal acts were committed by individuals involved.
