Published January 22, 2026, 11:37

The publication of international and European arrest warrants against Annie Alexui (Ioanna Fotiou) has caused an outcry and raised questions. Alexui herself has published certificates of political asylum from Russia, where she resides. The authorities have not provided sufficient explanations for the issuance of the warrants, which relate to offenses allegedly committed between January and October 2025. At the same time, two individuals who had been reported as complainants have denied the information. Alexui is known for her social media posts on issues of police, politics and the underworld. The Cyprus Police Association has called for an investigation into any involvement of police officers in corruption cases.
