A dispute has arisen in the municipality of Strovolos regarding millions in debt from a businessman. Former Mayor Andreas Papacharalambous claims he is being unfairly blamed for uncollected debts and states that all necessary documents have been submitted. Meanwhile, the current Mayor, Stavros Stavrinidis, argues that he inherited debts amounting to 28 million euros and that the debts from the businessman have increased. The controversy has raised questions about the municipality's financial management. Papacharalambous labels the reports about him as false.
