Lawyer Giorgos Christofides recommends an immediate investigation by the relevant authorities (MOKAS, Legal Service, Police, Anti-Corruption Authority) into the case of the video circulating with conversations between Lakkotrypis, Charalambous, and Chrysos. According to Mr. Christofides, the video suggests potential violations of the electoral law, as the former Energy Minister refers to funding for President Christodoulides' campaign outside legal limits and in cash. Additionally, there are references to facilitating violations of sanctions against Russian oligarchs. The lawyer emphasizes that the accuracy of the statements and actions described in the video should be investigated.
