Phaidon Phaidonos: "I have not committed any of the offenses"

Phaidon Phaedonos has publicly responded to the allegations against him, describing them as orchestrated attacks with political motives. He states that he has not been summoned by the police regarding any case and denies any wrongdoing. He emphasizes that the goal is his long-term political isolation and links these attacks to his accusations of corruption, including cases of drug trafficking and money laundering. He specifically refers to the “videogate” scandal and funding for the President’s election campaigns, as well as the involvement of the First Lady's Support Fund, arguing that a mechanism for exchanging favors between entrepreneurs and politicians was in operation. Mr. Phaedonos assures that he is not seeking preferential treatment but asks responsible state officials to act objectively and impartially. He expresses the view that Cyprus has become a corrupt country, with a state that promotes corruption and protects vested interests, warning of possible methods similar to those of Erdogan to eliminate political opponents. Furthermore, Mr. Phaedonos warns that if their intentions are to prosecute him, they will not stop at him but will continue with others. Conversely, if the country is rid of these circuits, it will be a victory for the people. He stresses his readiness to publicly and thoroughly answer any accusation leveled against him. In summary, Phaidon Phaedonos defends himself against the accusations, claiming to be the victim of an orchestrated attack with political motives and raising questions about corruption and the functioning of the state in Cyprus.
