CYPRadar 🇨🇾👮 Government aims to announce legal team for Mafia State investigation by Wednesday amid strict secrecy
The Cyprus government is pushing to announce the legal team leading the criminal investigation into the Mafia State report by mid-week, although the selection process remains highly confidential. As of Sunday, progress on finalising the appointment was unclear, and those involved declined to comment due to concerns about compromising the investigation.
Reports suggest that the team may include a Greek lawyer with an international profile, possibly working alongside a Cypriot counterpart to navigate Cyprus’s Anglo-Saxon-based criminal law. Government circles attribute delays to the complex case involving multiple individuals under scrutiny, including a judge and former officials.
Public debate continues around the handling of the report, with lawyer and ex-judge Alexandra K. Lykourgou proposing the establishment of an ad hoc collective body for evaluating investigation results and indictments. Meanwhile, questions remain over testimony related to former Attorney General Costas Clerides and alleged interference by former President Nicos Anastasiades in a related investigation.
