The Council of Ministers is expected to discuss on Wednesday the allegations made in recent days by journalist Makarios Drousiotis, following developments related to the ongoing police inquiries.
According to information from the Cyprus News Agency (CNA), Minister of Justice and Public Order Kostas Fitiris is expected to brief the Cabinet on the results of the police investigations so far and outline possible next steps.
Journalist submits statement to police
Makarios Drousiotis visited Police Headquarters again on Tuesday, for the second time in recent days, where he submitted a 34-page written statement supported by 137 pieces of evidence in electronic form, according to his own announcement.
In a post on the platform X, Drousiotis said he had also sent a copy of the statement to the President of the Republic so that he would have direct knowledge of its contents and be able to take any decisions deemed necessary.
Call for independent criminal investigators
The journalist also described it as an urgent necessity for the Council of Ministers to appoint independent criminal investigators to examine the allegations.
According to Drousiotis, such investigators should be above suspicion in order to ensure a credible examination of the claims.
