Legal Service Issues Directives Regarding Controversial Video

The Legal Service of Cyprus has issued directives to the relevant authorities to investigate a video that surfaced, allegedly containing conversations between former Energy Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis, the Director of the President's Office Charalambos Charalambous, and Cyfield Director Giorgos Chrysosohou with a Dutch investor. The video includes references to funding of one million euros for electoral purposes and contributions to the First Lady's Fund. The government has dismissed the video's content, questioning its authenticity and labeling it an attempt at manipulation. The police are conducting an investigation, with the official testimony of Mr. Lakkotrypis considered crucial for progress. The video is under analysis for potential alteration or editing.
