Phidias on EU Funds: No Information on Allegations Against Me

The European Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into Cypriot MEP Phidias Panagiotou regarding the possible squandering of EU funds. Mr. Panagiotou was informed about the investigation a few weeks ago and was asked to submit his position. The authorities have not provided further details about the case, as the investigation is in its early stages. However, the process will continue if the allegations are deemed credible. Mr. Panagiotou himself stated that he has not received official information from the competent authorities and that all his actions related to EU funds are carried out in consultation with the European Parliament. The MEP links the development to the upcoming parliamentary elections and the internal party processes for the selection of candidates, promising to inform the public through social media in the coming days.
