AKEL Questions State's Will and Ability to Combat Organized Crime

AKEL expressed strong concern over the increase in organized crime in Cyprus, questioning the state's will and ability to effectively address the problem. The party accused successive governments of failing to achieve substantial improvement in the situation, with serious murder cases remaining unsolved and the leaders of criminal organizations remaining untouchable. AKEL calls for concrete actions and measurable results, emphasizing that law enforcement agencies have the legal tools and knowledge to act.
