Acquittal of Responsibility in the Disappearance of €144,000 from Agios Athanasios Community Welfare Council

December 24, 2025

The case of the Community Welfare Council of Agios Athanasios is unprecedented as €144,000 disappeared without an accountable party. The two women managing the funds were acquitted of any criminal responsibility since no evidence was presented to support the case against them. The court found that the prosecution failed to provide sufficient testimony to back its claims. Despite the lack of evidence, gaps in the management process of the funds were highlighted. This situation leaves the Council with a deficit without clarity on who is responsible.
