AKEL: The State Must Find the Will, Ability, and Plan to Confront the Underworld

AKEL accuses the authorities and the government of incompetence and unwillingness to confront organized crime and the underworld in Cyprus, following the events that took place in Larnaca over the weekend. Party spokesman Giorgos Koukoumas states that domestic and foreign criminal networks are rampant, as there is no will, ability, or plan to combat them. He points out that all the legal tools are available, but the political will is lacking. AKEL calls on the government and the competent Minister to take concrete action and restore the sense of security of citizens.
