Investigation by the Anti-Corruption Authority into the allocation of state land to the Archdiocese of Cyprus
June 17, 2026
The Independent Authority Against Corruption released a report highlighting serious allegations concerning the allocation of state land to the Archdiocese of Cyprus. The investigation looks into the relationships between former Ministers and the Archdiocese, including a land purchase by the wife of former President Nicos Anastasiades. This purchase raises questions regarding transparency and legality in the processes involved. The Archdiocese received state land at a devalued price, which appears to have harmed the public treasury. The findings could lead to criminal charges against political figures.
