As reported in previous Cyprus Times, the candidate for the Presidency of the Republic of Cyprus, Andreas Mavroyiannis today sent an eletter to the Independent Authority against Corruption and more specifically to Haris Poyatzis, focusing on President Anastasiades' relations with a Russian oligarch.
According to the candidate's staff, this letter concerns what journalist Makarios Drushiotis claims in his book "State Mafia", regarding the relationship attributed by the author through his research, to the President of the Republic himself, as well as to people from his immediate entourage with the Russian oligarch Rybolovlev and the actions that the author claims were taken by government and state officials to satisfy his private interests.
In fact, as noted, Andreas Mavroyiannis calls on the Authority to immediately start an investigation of all allegations contained in the book about the acts of corruption in the public and private sectors relied upon by the author.
