Journalist Makarios Drousiotis testifies to police regarding corruption allegations

On April 3, 2026, journalist and Volt candidate Makarios Drousiotis appeared at police headquarters in Nicosia to provide evidence supporting his recent public allegations of corruption and criminal activity. His statements implicate several high-profile individuals, including former judge Michalakis Christodoulou, EDEK General Secretary Morfakis Solomonidis, and former MEP Dimitris Papadakis. The police have launched an official investigation into these claims, which began with a session lasting approximately one and a half hours. Attorney General George Savvidis, speaking in Limassol, refrained from commenting on the substance of the claims, emphasizing that the case is currently under an ex officio police investigation. Savvidis expressed full confidence in the police's forensic capabilities to verify the authenticity of the documents and digital messages provided. While Drousiotis described the event as the start of a long process, the accused individuals have categorically denied all allegations and characterized the provided evidence as fabricated. Further testimonies from the implicated parties are expected as the investigation continues.
