Before the Nicosia District Court he appears today former Volunteerism Commissioner Yiannis Giannakis to answer the charges of forgery and circulation of forged documents
It is recalled that Giannakis submitted his resignation on 26 May 2021, following a complaint by the Auditor General and the opening of an investigation into possible forgery of his diploma and degree.
As part of the investigations, it was found that the accused was allegedly involved in a case of forgery of a letter of recommendation by his former employer, before he took office at the Cyprus Youth Organization.
According to the allegations brought to light by the Auditor General, Yiannakis does not hold a university degree, while there is an upward manipulation of the final grades.
Specifically, the grades in eight out of twelve subjects have been altered in the numbers, which are not consistent with the grades as written in full.
The police, however, had recommended to the Legal Service that 18 charges be brought against him, including extorting money by false representations and money laundering, but this was not adopted by the prosecution, as it was considered that the money he was receiving related to his accrued wages.
