Shocking Video Alleges Illegal Funding of President Christodoulides' Campaign

A recently released video is causing shock in Cyprus, as it reveals allegations of illegal funding for President Nikos Christodoulides' election campaign. The video, which includes hidden cameras and recordings, presents conversations suggesting a mechanism to bypass the legal spending limit through cash and donations to charitable events organized by First Lady Filippa Karsera-Christodoulidou. The video mentions names of the President's associates and businessmen, as well as potential favors offered to Russian oligarchs and companies. The allegations concern bypassing the €1 million limit for election expenses and the repetition of old corrupt practices.
