Fidias Panagiotou: “I Have No Information About an Investigation Against Me” – How He Responds to Allegations of Misappropriation of Funds from European Funds

MEP Fidias Panagiotou stated that he has not received official information regarding an investigation against him for the alleged misappropriation of funds from European funds. Reports indicate that the Anti-Corruption Authority has referred anonymous complaints to the European Public Prosecutor's Office and OLAF, concerning the use of funds for the rental of a political office and the payment for the Direct Democracy application. Mr. Panagiotou attributed the allegations to a deliberate attempt ahead of the elections and announced that he will respond through a video on social media. The complaints concern the possible use of funds for personal purposes, such as the rental of the apartment where he lives in Limassol.
