Changes in Central Prisons Leadership Due to Ongoing Issues
December 3, 2025
The situation in the Central Prisons is deteriorating, with Maria Siali appointed as interim director following the resignation of Konstantinos Konstantinidis. Since 2002, there have been eight appointments from the Police, resulting in numerous resignations and dismissals. The government acknowledges the need for changes in leadership, especially after recent complaints that have created a number of internal issues. The appointment of a permanent director is considered essential for resolving these problems. Unions are also calling for improvements in conditions and a reevaluation of the prison structures.
