Double Standards: Former Police Chief Faces Scrutiny

There is considerable scrutiny being directed towards former Police Chief Kypros Michaelides for his media appearances offering analysis on organized crime and investigations, while his own past involvement in incidents remains questionable. Specifically, questions are raised about his presence at the Tamassos Bishopric during the transfer of a safe from the Avvakoum Monastery, where he allegedly met the 48-year-old businessman recently arrested in connection with the Larnaca shootings. The criticism highlights a contradiction between his critical stance towards the Police and his previous position as its head. The article questions the ethics of Mr. Michaelides and his suitability to publicly comment on sensitive matters.
