Internal conflict among game wardens over corruption allegations
February 5, 2026
A conflict has erupted among game wardens following allegations of corruption and collusion with poachers. The head of the Game and Wildlife Service, Pantelis Chatzigerou, urges anyone with evidence of corrupt wardens to report it to the police. Meanwhile, the president of the Temporary Game Wardens Union argues that the responsibility for investigating corruption lies with the head of the agency, not the employees. Chatzigerou calls for specific evidence and counters the general accusations that cast shadows over the agency's work. The situation appears tense, with both sides demanding transparency and more proof.
