Police Investigate Controversial Video – No Clear Definition of Investigation Yet

The Police are investigating the video that circulated with conversations between former Energy Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis, the Director of the President's Office, Charalambos Charalambous, and the Director of Cyfield, Giorgos Chrysosohou, with alleged Dutch investors. The investigation is in its initial stages and the exact subject or offenses to be investigated have not yet been determined. The Police are awaiting a statement from Mr. Lakkotrypis to proceed with the investigation. The video includes references to funding of up to one million euros for election purposes and contributions to the First Lady's Fund. The government describes the video as an attempt at manipulation and a hybrid threat, claiming it is the result of editing. The investigation will be conducted by the Headquarters TAE, in cooperation with the Cybercrime Sub-Directorate and other relevant services.
