Questions Raised Around the Statement on the 'Black Van'

September 14, 2026

The statement by Attorney General Giorgos Savvidis regarding the 'black van' investigation has raised questions. He claims that the investigation was terminated because the issues had already been investigated by law enforcement, but this position seems unsupported by facts. Reports indicate two potential conflicts of interest that could not be investigated. The investigation was completed before autumn 2021, and these matters should have been examined. The Independent Authority Against Corruption had noted that these cases were part of its preliminary investigation, which was ultimately halted.
