Stop to Investigation into Photo Leak and Disagreement with Former Auditor General’s Approach

Published January 7, 2026, 15:31

The Auditor General, Andreas Papakonstantinou, halted the investigation into the leak of a photo of him wearing a wig during a bus inspection, refusing to identify suspects. The inspection was conducted to experience the conditions of passengers firsthand, such as the inability to pay with a card. Mr. Papakonstantinou expressed his concern not about the photo leak itself, but about the fact that any information leaked from the Audit Office. He disagreed with the way the former Auditor General is handling the matter, emphasizing the importance of respect for predecessors and successors.
