AKEL Calls for Resignation of Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General

AKEL is calling for the resignation of the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, criticizing their choice to “put officials forward” instead of taking responsibility themselves for the degradation of the Prosecutor's Office. The party also expresses concern over the report of a threat to the life of a witness in the “golden passports” case, demanding investigation and accountability. AKEL emphasizes the need for cleansing and punishment of all those involved in the scandal, including the former President. Furthermore, it points out a conflict of interest due to the previous tenure of the two Attorneys General as ministers in a government that faced many scandals.
