Syllouris and Tziovanis Acquitted in 'Golden Passport' Case

The Permanent Criminal Court acquitted Dimitris Syllouris and Christakis Tziovanis in the 'golden passport' case with a vote of 2 to 1. The decision sparked applause and expressions of joy in the courtroom. The court noted that the Al Jazeera report, which triggered the investigation into the case, did not constitute evidentiary material. Following the verdict, Mr. Syllouris stated that he was innocent and held no grudge against anyone, while emphasizing the importance of the rule of law and the fight against corruption. The case had attracted significant publicity and raised questions about the transparency of the KEP program.
