Lakkotrypis filed more than ten private sector work applications after leaving office

Former energy minister Georgios Lakkotrypis submitted more than ten applications for special permission to work in the private sector during the mandatory two-year hiatus after leaving his ministerial post, sources close to the matter said on Thursday.

The sources told the Cyprus Mail that applications were filed between July 2020, when Lakkotrypis left the energy ministry, and July 2022, during which law requires former ministers to obtain approval from a three-member committee before taking up private sector roles.
