The appointment of an independent criminal investigator to investigate the video posted on 'X' under the name 'Emily Thompson' was described as correct and institutionally mandated by lawyer Achilleas Emilianides. The investigation is necessary due to the seriousness of the matter and the need to investigate both the content of the video and the purpose of its publication. Emilianides stressed that the investigation does not presuppose the commission of offenses, but aims to establish the truth. The choice of an independent investigator is considered correct due to the public dimension of the case and the involvement of persons connected to the government.
