Asked to comment on the "controversy" that broke out between him and the Auditor General of the Republic, Mr. Hasikos said that "it is not a matter of controversy or anything personal. In other countries no one knows the Auditor General, in Cyprus he is a star, a superstar, whether it is newspapers, televisions or radios. It's his right, so he chose to communicate and defend his report. "
He added that "I will wait for the Attorney General. I gave some information, tomorrow Monday the rest will go and beyond that there are Institutions and they will judge who is right. I do not want to follow up, nor do I want to appear as a confrontational or in constant confrontation with the Auditor General. This does not help any of us, each of us to be limited to his own, the Executive Power to hers and I as a member of the Executive Power will remain in mine, he as an Audit Office could remain in his own ".
Whether, he continued, "there is an excess of power or some of its actions are considered excessive in relation to the way it exercises its control, there is a Constitution, there are Laws and each of us is judged on whether it operates and behaves within the framework of the Constitution and Laws ».
Asked what information he gave and will give tomorrow to the Attorney General of the Republic, S. Hasikos called on the journalists to wait "for the Attorney General to see it. Essentially, the information I give is indicative of what I have described previously, namely whether we are limited by each side to what the Constitution imposes on us, or operate in excess, whether we are interconnected with suspicious or other interests or not. This is the job of the Attorney General to judge them. "
Asked if he had a first response from the Attorney General, Socrates Hasikos said that "what the Attorney General said and he said very well is, 'it is not my job to get into controversy. My job is to examine from a legal point of view the various issues that come before me ". And the Attorney General said that "yes these will be investigated".
Asked if these suspicious connections concern Institutions or persons, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied that "I will say about mine. It has been implied that I have some suspicious connections either to the Central Slaughterhouse or to Kosi. No one still knows what happened to Kosi (OEDA) and while the Audit Office and the Board of Changes and Claims have taken over, we are still waiting. In any case, the Audit Office left various associations for suspicious transactions of mine. The Attorney General will show this if he exists. "
In Socrates Hasiko, the question was raised that for the Ministry of Interior there are other issues such as for example the General Accountant.
"And this will be seen by the Attorney General. "It is surprising that through a 680-page report, the acts or omissions of all the others, as far as they exist, have disappeared and only two non-issues of the Ministry of Interior concerning the previous government have disappeared," he said, adding that "this is what I would say." is a success of the government. That is, out of so many issues, only two, which also concern the previous government, exist? " wondered to end up "we saw".
