On July 2, 2026, the Cabinet of Cyprus appointed a five-member team of independent criminal investigators to investigate findings related to the "Mafia State" case, stemming from a report by the Independent Authority against Corruption. The decision was made during a Cabinet meeting and was announced by the Government Spokesman. The investigators' mission will primarily focus on converting the existing findings into actionable evidence.
The appointed team consists of legal experts with significant backgrounds in combating corruption, including notable figures like Vasileios Skouris and Mylonopoulos. Each investigator has extensive credentials, aimed at ensuring an impartial and thorough examination of the allegations presented in the report. The initial term for the investigators is set for six months, with the potential for extension if a formal request is submitted to the Cabinet.
Political reactions to the appointment have been generally positive. The Democratic Party (DİKO) and the Democratic Rally (DISY) both hailed the decision as a step toward an objective investigation. However, some concerns have been raised regarding possible conflicts of interest among the appointees, particularly in relation to one investigator whose prior affiliations could be seen as problematic. Overall, the appointment has stirred discussions about transparency and accountability within the current political context.
