AKEL criticizes authorities over handling of former Israeli agents in Cyprus

The political party AKEL has renewed its criticism toward the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, and the current Christodoulides government regarding the management of former Israeli agents in Cyprus. The party claims that the Nicos Anastasiades administration and the DISY party were institutionally entangled with illegal surveillance activities conducted by these agents. AKEL questions the decision of Attorney General Savvidis and Deputy Attorney General Angelides to suspend criminal proceedings against Tal Dilian, while allowing his company to plead guilty. The party notes that Dilian was previously convicted by Greek courts. AKEL argues that the current government is effectively covering up past misconduct by refusing to review findings from the Audit Office and parliamentary investigations. Furthermore, the party highlights that the Independent Authority Against Corruption has been investigating the matter for three years without the ability to pursue prosecutions, as the final decision remains with the Attorney General. The opposition maintains that the continued silence of the legal authorities undermines institutional transparency.
