Scheduled Reductions of Security for Former Officials
September 23, 2026
The decision to reduce the security for former officials is based on a risk assessment. The Minister of Justice announced the withdrawal of 23 police officers in two phases. Three former Presidents of the House and their spouses will lose their security. Former President Anastasiades will retain 6 police officers for escort but his residence will be protected by an electronic system. This change aims to save resources.
