Investigation intensifies over Makarios Drousiotis's allegations

Journalist and author Makarios Drousiotis has submitted a written statement and a large volume of evidence to the police on April 7, 2026, regarding his ongoing case involving an individual known as 'Santi'. Drousiotis alleges that these documents support his public claims, while the police are working to verify the authenticity of various messages circulated in the media. Simultaneously, lawyer Nikos Kliridis, acting for 'Santi', provided testimony and evidence to investigators. Conversely, EDEK Deputy President Morfakis Solomonidis, former judge Michalakis Christodoulou, and politician Dimitris Papadakis have filed complaints against Drousiotis, alleging the dissemination of forged messages and false claims. The police have seized digital devices, including a mobile phone from Solomonidis, for forensic examination. Justice Minister Kostas Fytiris is scheduled to discuss the investigation status with the Cabinet, with the potential appointment of an independent criminal investigator remaining under consideration. Authorities aim to clarify whether the published messages are authentic or fabricated to prevent further legal misconduct.
