Police today filed a case before the District Court concerning thousands of Central Prisons documents found at the home of a chief warder.
According to information, the charge sheet names eight people: former Prisons Director Anna Aristotelous, former Deputy Director Athina Dimitriou, five serving prison officers, and one former prison officer who now serves in the Police.
Police received instructions from the Legal Service to lodge the case because the suspension orders for six of the implicated officers expire at the end of the week, which would otherwise see them return to duty.
Anna Aristotelous remains on suspension and has lodged an appeal. The Council of Ministers recently decided to appoint Ms Aristotelous as a director general at a ministry.
