Administrative Court annuls suspension of Anna Aristotelous

The Administrative Court has ruled that the decision of the Council of Ministers to suspend Anna Aristotelous, the former General Director of the Ministry of Defense, was illegal. On June 17, 2026, her legal representative, Chris Triantafyllidis, sent an urgent letter to the Secretary of the Council of Ministers regarding the verdict. In the correspondence, Triantafyllidis demanded immediate compliance with the court's ruling and the reinstatement of Aristotelous to her position as General Director. The legal team asserts that since the suspension has been annulled, the state is obligated to restore her to her organic post without delay. The focus now shifts to the Council of Ministers and how they will proceed to implement the judicial decision. This development marks a significant legal challenge to the government's previous actions concerning her employment status.
