The policeman who reported corruption to the Police and involvement of the underworld in poaching, as well as trafficking in wildlife (vines, wild boar, hares) went to Brussels and testified as a public interest witness.
Following a confidential personal invitation received in mid-December from the Head of the Legal Department of the European Commission, he submitted evidence and documents.
It is noted that these data are already in the possession of the investigating police officer, the criminal investigator appointed by the Attorney General, while they were also submitted to the Administrative Court.
During the long testimony before four members of the Legal Department of the European Commission, the police officer - whose testimony stands out from all the others on poaching issues - referred to events that indicate corruption in the police ranks, but also a deliberate lack of political will. to suppress the phenomenon of corruption and cover-up.
His entire testimony was described by the British leader as the most authentic testimony ever before the Legal Department of the European Commission for Corruption in Cyprus. According to information, the next meeting of the police officer with the Legal Department will take place in the coming days, for further clarifications and explanations for the testimony he testified. This time the members of the Legal Department are expected to move to Cyprus.
The whole issue will be raised by a foreign MEP for discussion in competent bodies of the European Parliament with the presentation of the substantiated testimony of the police officer or part of it. The consequences for this issue for the Republic of Cyprus will be immediate, with a negative impact. Activists from the environmental organization CABS and the Pro Biodiversity Foundation have informed the embassies of Switzerland, Germany and Italy about the inaction of the Police in combating poaching and reducing persecution.
