The announcement of the Legal Service in detail
"An application was submitted today to the Supreme Court by the Attorney General of the Republic, requesting the dismissal of the Assistant Attorney General Mr. Rikkos Erotokritos from the position he holds, for the reason of the demonstration of inappropriate behavior and until the trial. of the application, be made available or ordered to abstain from his duties.
This behavior refers to acts, actions and statements of the Assistant Attorney General during the period between 14.4.15-23.4.15, as well as to the handling of criminal cases related to VAT, under circumstances that indicate a conflict of interest, to earlier time period.
The Supreme Court, which exercises the jurisdiction of the Council, which according to the Constitution exclusively deals with such an issue in the composition of the Plenary Session, appointed as the trial of the case on 25 May 2015.
The requesting Attorney General is represented by lawyers George Triantaphyllides, Christos Clerides and Achilles Emilianidis.
The completion of the investigation of the criminal case, which was assigned to Mr. P. Kallis and, subsequently, to two other independent criminal investigators, is expected within the next few days ".
The announcement of the Assistant Attorney General in detail
An application by the Assistant Attorney General of the Republic will be registered in the next 24 hours in the Supreme Court, requesting the dismissal of the Attorney General, Mr. K. Clerides, from the position he holds, for the demonstration of inappropriate behavior and as, until the adjudication and completion of the application, be made available, or ordered as abstaining from his duties.
The above behavior concerns acts, and / or actions, and / or omissions and / or statements of the Attorney General of the Republic, from the date of his appointment to the said office and from now on, but also in particular, during the period between 14.4.2015 to date, concerning the handling of civil and criminal cases, under circumstances that suggest a conflict of interest with him, relatives, or friends, but also the way in which the course of investigations is handled to investigate the causes of the collapse of the economy , or on the instructions of Legal Service officials.
I am obliged to note that after a final and clear conclusion, which did not need further investigation according to the Attorney General of the Republic, made by Mr. P. Kallis, and which was announced by the Attorney General himself from the media to the whole Cypriot people, in his view, a specific criminal offense is always revealed. My referral to the Criminal Court and my seven-year imprisonment, according to the Attorney General of the Republic, was more than, of course, a matter of a few days to begin.
Instead, two other criminal investigators of his choice are appointed, who start the same interrogation from the beginning, interrogating the same witnesses interrogated by Mr. P. Kallis, without having completed their work to date. Mr. P. Kallis himself does not participate in this second investigative attempt, obviously considering his finding final. Everyone can easily draw their own conclusions from the above.
The application filed by the Attorney General of the Republic against me, with one of the three lawyers, a close relative, will be dealt with in the Supreme Court by my own lawyers.
