Former MP Giorgos Varnava contests Independent Authority Against Corruption findings

Former MP Giorgos Varnava has publicly rejected the findings of the Independent Authority Against Corruption regarding the book 'State Mafia'. The report identifies Varnava as a person of interest, specifically citing a potential abuse of power or an attempt to commit a criminal offense. Varnava expressed his strong dissatisfaction, labeling the committee's conclusions as incorrect and unfounded. He emphasized his 15-year political career as evidence of his integrity and honesty while serving in the House of Representatives. The former MP denied ever committing any punishable act and stated that he is ready to cooperate with any state authority regarding the investigation. While the authority's report casts shadows on his reputation, Varnava maintains that a proper assessment of the evidence will prove his innocence. He considers the references to his name in the report as an act of public humiliation.
