The real name of the individual involved in meetings with Giorgos Lakkotrypis, Charalambos Charalambous, and Giorgos Chrysosho regarding the leaked video has been revealed. The name is Florin Georgiu, an 81-year-old Romanian chess player. 'Georgiu' held telephone conversations with Charalambos Charalambous and Giorgos Lakkotrypis in December, using a connection from the Presidential Palace. In the London meeting, 'Georgiu' discussed matters with Giorgos Chrysosho for two hours. The creators of the video left traces in Azerbaijan and Spain, suggesting possible use of servers in those countries. The video presents edited statements from the three men, implying that the President's team used cash for his election campaign, exceeding the legal limit. Warner Bros. has launched an internal investigation.
