The Need for Evaluation of Witness Management by the Legal Service
February 19, 2026
Lawyer Ilias Stefanou stated that the Legal Service should clarify how it handled the witnesses in the 'golden passports' case. He pointed out that some witnesses who accused others did not appear to testify, and some changed their testimonies. He calls for self-criticism regarding any possible mismanagement. Regarding the appeal, he emphasizes that it will only examine legal issues without reassessing testimonies. He urges lawyers to be cautious in their public statements.
