Government Suspects Manipulation in Leaked Video, Hints at Further Releases

Reactions continue following the release of a video concerning President Christodoulides and his associates, leading to the First Lady's resignation from the Independent Welfare Support Agency Committee. Deputy Government Spokesperson Yannis Antoniou stated that the video contains authentic material combined with manipulated audio and visuals, and that the government is investigating the motives of those involved. The possibility of further similar videos being released was also mentioned. Regarding the role of former Minister Lakkotrypis, Antoniou stated that he had contacted the President's son-in-law regarding a potential €150 million investment. The government aims to prove that the presented image is inaccurate and dismissed reactions from AKEL.
