Police report on the Sandy affair submitted to the Ministry of Justice

On May 11, 2026, the Chief of Police, Themistos Arnaoutis, submitted the investigative team's report regarding allegations made by journalist Makarios Drousiotis to Justice Minister Costas Fytiris. The investigation centers on the "Sandy" affair, which involves claims about networks of officials and various digital communications. Authorities have conducted approximately 70 depositions and analyzed hundreds of messages and bank records. While the current police inquiry is at an advanced stage, it remains ongoing as experts await additional evidence. Specifically, the final investigative file requires pending reports from Europol regarding the authenticity of digital messages and findings from the FBI concerning the identity of "Sandy." The Minister of Justice will study the report before briefing the President of the Republic, after which a formal public statement will be issued. Criminal offenses currently under investigation include conspiracy, document forgery, and computer-related crimes. Once all reports are compiled, the file will be sent to the Law Office of the Republic to determine potential criminal prosecutions.
