Guardian Report on Controversial Video

The Guardian newspaper published an article regarding the video that has caused controversy in Cyprus and concerns President Nikos Christodoulides. President Christodoulides categorically denies the allegations of corruption and has requested a full investigation by the competent authorities, with the assistance of foreign states and the European Union. The 8.5-minute video shows the President's associates and political allies talking to investors, implying that access to the President could be secured through monetary donations to a charitable fund. The President's Chief of Staff resigned, while his wife stepped down from her position in a charity due to 'relentless attacks'. The opposition is calling for a full clarification of the case.
