The Alma Movement has launched severe criticism against President Nikos Christodoulides' government regarding the appointment of criminal investigators to examine the Independent Authority Against Corruption's report on the book "Mafia State." Alma describes the latest developments as a new fiasco, accusing Christodoulides of failing to recognize his own conflict of interest in the matter.

Alma highlights that despite initial government insistence that no conflict of interest existed, this stance was disproven following the resignation of the first appointed investigator. The opposition group further condemns the possible appointment of a defense lawyer with active ties to high-profile corruption cases, including representation of Tal Dilian, as lacking the necessary institutional neutrality.

Additionally, Alma criticizes President Christodoulides' continued insistence on personally deciding the investigator appointments despite his own conflicts of interest, given his prior ministerial role and political connection to former President Nikos Anastasiades. They argue this undermines the independence required for such a sensitive inquiry.
