June 24, 2026
The investigation by the Independent Authority Against Corruption concerning the book 'Mafia State' has sparked discussions about appointing a foreign independent criminal investigator. There are indications that government sources are considering this possibility, although no decision has been made. Former President Nikos Anastasiades is attempting to challenge the findings of the Authority, claiming that they violate his right to a fair defense. The legal proceedings are expected to involve police investigators alongside an independent head. The situation is ongoing and remains unclear.
