“Neither the leaks, nor the e-book, nor the lawsuits, nor the threats I obtain will stop me from saying and writing the reality.”
In the present day, the newspaper “Politis” publishes data on what the e-book that Mr Anastasiadis has lengthy introduced. This journalist has been coping with me for months. The opposite day he spoke with Mr. Anastasiadis' lawyer and at the moment he writes that he spoke with him. He by no means contacted me, nor with my lawyer …
The “citizen” places ahead in his titles that Anastasiadis “offers documented solutions to what his former companion is falsely attributed to his books”. If the false is true, it will likely be clear with the completion of the analysis, therefore the panic.
Based on the report, Mr Anastasiadis will submit his e-book to the Unbiased Corruption Committee. I hope he doesn’t depend on the e-book in order that he doesn’t reply the questions that he’s estimated to be submitted to all the problems that arose through the investigation.
Mr. Anastasiadis has typically referred to his placements in notes that I’ve ready and can publish within the e-book. I hope it’s self -sufficient and genuine, as a result of if I choose by what’s leaking to the press one thing doesn’t. The knowledgeable “citizen” writes: “In these notes he commented on judges, the Lawyer Basic, the Auditor Basic, journalists, and many others.” …
I by no means obtained concerned with judges. The one texts I’ve in my archive that concern judges are the addresses I wrote to him in regards to the ceremonies of appointing judges of the Supreme Court docket. I’ve notes for the Lawyer Basic about Kostas Clerides' complaints about Rikkos Erotokritos earlier than the scandal that led to the latter's cessation. I additionally obtained concerned with the media, this was my job, however there may be completely nothing to do with the ungodly.
A politician who has been within the highlight for half a century has dominated the nation for ten years and has been making an attempt to rescue his hysteria by creating tales with slanderers.
Briefly, neither the leaks, nor the e-book, nor the lawsuits, nor the threats I obtain will stop me from saying and writing the reality. Regardless of the goodies he recruits, no matter patrons he has made certain to depart the system of energy, I’ll cope with it by all authorized means and within the committee, and within the courts and in public dialogue, till he’s held accountable for the tombstone within the Cyprus and monetary corruption.
