Videogate: Lakkotrypis Re-appears at Police HQ - Submits Invoices and Evidence

Giorgos Lakkotrypis, former Minister of Energy, submitted invoices and evidence to the Police Headquarters regarding the video case that has caused a political earthquake in Cyprus. The video includes conversations with alleged associates of President Christodoulides and businessmen, discussing funding for the election campaign, ways to exert influence, and 'buying access'. According to the video, Mr. Lakkotrypis mentions his close relationship with the President and the need for cash to exceed the limits of election expenses. Both Mr. Lakkotrypis and the CEO of Cyfield, Giorgos Chrysokhos, confirmed that they met with people who presented themselves as Dutch investors, but claim the video is a product of manipulation.
