Limits on Criminal Investigation for the Gas Terminal

September 3, 2025

The Attorney General, Giorgos Savvidis, announced that a criminal investigation into the gas terminal in Vasilikos cannot proceed due to an ongoing investigation by the European Public Prosecutor's Office. He explained that according to EU regulations, national authorities cannot conduct investigations when the European Prosecutor's Office is already involved. Only if the European Prosecutor identifies a criminal issue outside of its jurisdiction can national authorities proceed. The Attorney General emphasizes the importance of avoiding speculation and inaccurate information about this matter.
