Akel leader urges Christodoulides to confront corruption over controversial video

Akel general secretary Stefanos Stefanou has sent an open letter to President Nikos Christodoulides, calling on him to confront corruption in the wake of a controversial video containing allegations of illegal funding and investments.

In his letter, Stefanou argues that the president’s response to the scandal can be interpreted in only two ways: either he fails to grasp the seriousness of the matter — something Stefanou describes as “extremely problematic” for the office he holds — or he is tolerating unacceptable practices.
