How Anny Opened Pandora's Box

Published January 25, 2026, 06:16

The article refers to the revelations of TikToker Anny Alexiou and the consequences they had for the Presidential Palace, the Police and the institutions in Cyprus. Her claims, which involved political figures, people from the Church and the underworld, were initially ignored by the authorities, but caused a political earthquake when they touched the Presidential Palace. The Police response is considered problematic, as it announced the existence of international arrest warrants against Anny, while at the same time failing to take action to investigate her claims. The call for information to locate her, while she lives in Moscow, is considered an own goal. The article highlights the feeling of the Police's inability to deal with the underworld, with reference to parallel cases of extortionists in Larnaca. Anny's revelations seemed to be confirmed by the posting of videos from her visits to the Paphos ADE, regarding her complaints of violence and corruption. Overall, the article presents a critical picture of the situation in Cyprus, with the dismissal of institutions, the Police's inability to deal with crime and the emergence of a phenomenon where people from the underworld appear to have connections with political and religious figures.
