Top Blunder: Sabbidis and Angelides Must Take Responsibility!

The press conference held by the Legal Service following the acquittal of Syllouris-Giovani was characterized as an attempt at institutional cover-up, in response to criticism over the collapse of the case. The case, concerning the sale of citizenships, is considered devastating for Cyprus's image and undermined trust in institutions. The failure of the case is attributed, according to the article, to the Legal Service's inability to secure the presence of key witnesses and protect them. The appeal is characterized as a superficial effort, while the Legal Service is accused of attempting to shift blame onto others and target society for its criticism. The article emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability, as well as self-criticism from the Legal Service.
