Administrative Court Sides with Triantafyllidis: Exclusion from RIK Due to DISY Reversed

The Administrative Court has ruled in favor of lawyer Christos Triantafyllidis, overturning the RIK's decision not to award him a contract for legal services. The decision had been made in 2021, citing a conflict of interest due to his position as Legal Counsel for DISY. The court ruled that holding the position of legal counsel for a political party does not automatically lead to a conflict of interest in an external consultant position, and that the RIK's decision was incorrect. Mr. Triantafyllidis had submitted the lowest bid in the competition.
