There can be no tolerance, if and when what has come to light is documented, the President of the Republic, Mr. Nicos Anastasiades in connection with the case involving the Director of the Central Prison and a senior police officer.
In his remarks on the sidelines of the Cyprus-Greece passenger connection ceremony at the port of Limassol, and to a journalist's remark that there are reports claiming that the President was aware of the current situation regarding the Central Prison case, President Anastasiades said that "I am tired of dealing with the fake news of some inventive journalists. I will refrain from making any comment".
However, he noted from the moment it came to light and he was informed, "this particular case - I don't want to give adjectives - I gave explicit instructions to the Minister of Justice, to the Chief of Police - I cannot of course interfere with the Attorney General - that there can be no tolerance, if and when what has seen the light of day is documented."
Beyond that, he noted, both because of his institutional role and because of the protection of constitutional rights and the fact that he also served as a lawyer somewhere and is hardly a lawyer, he will refrain from making any comments.
