Journalist Makarios Drousiotis has returned to the allegations he has made over the past several days, describing what he calls a "well-orchestrated campaign of discrediting, disinformation and confusion" mounted against his disclosures, in a new post on X.

Drousiotis claims that from the day he published his article titled "The Dark Face of the Rule of Law in Cyprus," the Presidential Palace, the Legal Service and the Cyprus Police launched a coordinated operation aimed at casting doubt on his revelations.

He further maintains that his article contains information that, in his view, "requires immediate and careful investigation by independent professionals," and says he sees no indication that President Nikos Christodoulidis and his government intend to pursue such an inquiry.

Drousiotis also says he stands by the statement he made on Tuesday, noting that he will be away from Nicosia in the coming days and will not be in a position to follow developments or respond publicly. He announced he is taking a pause of several days and will return after the Easter holiday.

Closing his post, Drousiotis renewed his attack on the President directly, describing Christodoulidis's assurances that he is interested in investigating the case as "false and fabricated."
