Cyprus’ anti-corruption authority has launched an investigation into former President Nicos Anastasiades, alleging potential abuse of power during his time in office. The watchdog identified irregularities concerning campaign financing and potential attempts to sway investigations related to financial backers of political parties. Specifically, the inquiry focuses on allegations that Anastasiades interfered in investigations involving businessmen who supported his campaigns. The findings also suggest possible institutional interference in matters with a direct impact on the former president’s personal interests. The case has been referred to the island’s chief prosecutor for further review and potential legal action. This development marks a significant moment in Cyprus’ efforts to combat corruption and ensure accountability among high-ranking officials.
