TikToker Annie has released videos documenting her visits to the Paphos Police Department regarding her allegations of violence and threats. This follows a statement by the Police to Alpha News that she had never filed the complaints she was making. Legal and police figures have commented on the case, with some arguing that the Police should have launched an investigation into Annie's claims, while others emphasized the importance of investigating potential corruption. The Independent Anti-Corruption Authority stated it would not investigate without a formal complaint. The release of the videos has led to significant attention to Annie's claims, while 13 arrest warrants are pending against her for spreading false news. Annie claims to have received political asylum in Russia due to fears for her life. Her allegations concern organized crime and relationships between politicians/police officers and the underworld.
