The President of the Republic gave answers about Drusiotis' allegations and the letter to Poyatzis.
- Letter of the President to Poyatzi. Calls for an ex officio investigation into Droussioti's books
- Drousioti's allegations will be investigated ex officio. And second major allegation of public scandal
On the sidelines of a visit to Lefkara, when asked about it, he said that he has already sent the letter to the Transparency Commissioner and chairman of the Authority, citing the articles provided by the law establishing the Anti-Corruption Authority.
"It is imperative to get involved ex officio because it is not possible for anyone to make allegations that show the President to be involved in acts of corruption, or even criminal and remain indifferent I have not found anything similar to God the competent authorities, as the law establishing the Authority, Articles 6, 7, etc., precisely as stipulated in the law establishing the Authority, not to mention legal issues," he noted.
He made it clear that he did not hope for anything similar either. "In fact, the invitation and invitation is to make public any outcome of the investigations," he stressed.
Asked how much it bothers him that a close associate of his on the Cyprus issue took this action, the President said that "it does not bother me what Mr. Mavroyiannis. He did not say that he was complaining, he said what I said, that he should be investigated ex officio. If I judge somewhere the error is that an experienced diplomat, when the President is on an important mission abroad, does not create problems that may diminish the importance of the visit, in the sense of undermining the President's effort abroad. Nothing beyond that."
