Cyprus Government Seeks Foreign Assistance in Video Probe

The Republic of Cyprus has requested assistance from foreign agencies (USA, Israel, England, France) in investigations related to the video that came to light, containing references to suspicious funding and investments. The Police and the Legal Service are working closely together and evaluating all the data. Former Minister of Energy, Giorgos Lakkotrypis, has already given a statement to the Police. Scientific reports from the relevant Police Services are also expected. The investigation covers the entire spectrum of the video, including the origin of the account that posted it. The video allegedly records conversations between Giorgos Lakkotrypis, Charalambos Charalambous, and Giorgos Chrysoschos with a Dutch investor.
