Minister of Justice and Public Order Costas Fytiris announced that he will brief the Cabinet next week regarding the allegations made by journalist Makarios Drousiotis. The announcement was made in Mathiatis during a press conference on road safety. Fytiris stated that his proposal to the Cabinet concerning the appointment of independent criminal investigators depends on the update he receives from the Chief of Police regarding the progress of current investigations. The Minister confirmed he will meet with police officials to assess whether an independent investigator is required for the case. Separately, it was noted that Giorgos Mylonakis is pursuing legal action against Drousiotis, describing the journalist's claims as a smear campaign.
