Concerns About the Functioning of the Audit Office After the Dismissal of the General Auditor

September 19, 2024

The Audit Office continues its operations, according to the Deputy Attorney General, but there are questions regarding the status after the dismissal of General Auditor Odysseas Michailidis. A lawyer referenced an opinion by Kriton Tornaritis emphasizing that the position of General Auditor cannot remain vacant. The President of the Republic has a constitutional obligation to appoint a new Attorney General so that the legal service functions properly. The lack of appointment would leave the Audit Office without leadership.
