Videogate: Two Years of 'Flirting' with the Presidential Office - Series of Contacts with 'Investors' in London and the Netherlands

An 8-minute video posted on the X platform has caused a political storm in Cyprus, as it contains conversations suggesting the existence of "black" political money. The government describes the video as the product of a "hybrid activity" aimed at damaging the credibility of President Christodoulides and Cyprus. According to information, individuals posing as investors from a family fund approached Giorgos Lakkotrypis two years ago, making contacts in London and the Netherlands, and entered into a contract for services for a fee.
