Attorney General and Assistant Attorney General Abstain from 'State Mafia' Case
June 17, 2026
The Attorney General George Savvides and the Assistant Attorney General Savvas Angelidis announced that they will abstain from evaluating the report of the Independent Authority Against Corruption concerning the book "State Mafia." This abstention is due to the personal relationship between Mr. Savvides and former President Nicos Anastasiades, ensuring objective impartiality. The Legal Service has assigned the handling of the case to a Prosecutorial Council. The Commissioner of Transparency informed that the report will not be delivered before next Monday. The Attorney General was called to safeguard objectivity in the process.
