Allegations Against Phaidonos: “An Investigation into Assault Was Conducted Previously” Said Former Police Chief

Information about an alleged assault on the wife of the Mayor of Paphos, Faidon Phaidonos, had reached the Police in the past, according to former Police Chief, Kypros Michailidis. Mr. Michailidis stated that a preliminary investigation had been launched in 2018-2019, but due to lack of evidence and non-cooperation from those involved, the case had been filed away. The current ex officio investigation, following the publication of documents, is considered correct, although it should have started earlier. The medical report published by Ioanna Fotiou (Annie Alexoui) is not considered conclusive evidence, but constitutes testimony that will be investigated. The case has caused political noise and reactions.
