An ex officio investigation by the Cyprus Police into the Paphos Mayor is ongoing in relation to an alleged case of abuse involving a woman in Paphos, police headquarters told the Cyprus News Agency (CNA).
Statements and Evidence Being Assessed
Speaking to CNA, Christodoulos Konsolos, Communications Officer at Police Headquarters, said that police have been continuing the investigation since last Sunday.
“The Police are continuing the ex officio investigation, within the framework of which statements are being taken and evidence is being evaluated in relation to the alleged abuse of a woman,” he said.
According to police, the investigation is currently focused on collecting statements from the parties involved.
Trigger for the Investigation
The inquiry was launched following material posted on social media by Ioanna Fotiou, also known as Annie Alexui. The material includes documents presented as hospital records which, according to her claims, are linked to the specific political figure.
Mayor’s Public Response
It is recalled that Phaedonas Phaedonos, in a public statement, referred to what he described as an “unrelenting war” against him by a “coalition of political and economic entanglement and organised crime,” speaking of an “attempt at his elimination at personal and family cost.”
The police investigation remains ongoing.
