Criticism over the appointment of criminal investigators for the Mafia State report

The political movement Alma has expressed significant reservations regarding the government's appointment of two criminal investigators to examine the 'Mafia State' report. The movement argues that the Council of Ministers, chaired by President Nikos Christodoulides, is not an appropriate body for these appointments. The critics highlight that the President was a witness in parts of the case and a member of the former Anastasiades government that is now under scrutiny. Additionally, concerns have been raised by legal professionals regarding a potential conflict of interest for one of the appointed investigators due to prior professional involvement in the Focus case, which is part of the current report. The government has attempted to address these concerns by stating that the investigator in question will not work on the specific Focus chapter. However, Alma rejects this approach, claiming that a unified case cannot be fragmented to resolve conflicts of interest. The movement further questions the criteria used for the selection of Emeritus Professor Christos Mylonopoulos for this investigation, citing his past roles as a defense attorney.
