Odysseas Michaelides comments on the Santis case and journalist Stelios Orphanides

Odysseas Michaelides, leader of the Alma movement and former Auditor General, has publicly addressed the ongoing 'Santis' case. Michaelides revealed that he spoke for two hours on Monday, April 6, with investigative journalist Stelios Orphanides before a key party meeting regarding Dimitris Papadakis. He confirmed that Orphanides is the person involved in the recordings disclosed by Makarios Drousiotis. Michaelides stated that these findings support the allegations made by Drousiotis and contradict the government's narrative of a coordinated misinformation network. He reiterated his call for an independent investigation into the matter, criticizing the government’s handling of the situation. Michaelides expressed concern over what he described as suspicious leaks and the targeting of whistleblowers. The government has previously indicated it would seek to address the allegations, but Michaelides remains skeptical of the current investigative process.
