Privileged few supported and tolerated by the government
Statement of Georgos Loucaides, AKEL C.C. Spokesperson
AKEL C.C. Press Office, 6th April 2016, Nicosia
Regarding the revelations about the activities of the Mossack Fonseca Law Firm, we call on the President of the Republic, apart from the pledge for an investigation to be conducted on the issue by the relevant authorities, to proceed immediately to what other countries have already done and formally request the files that have been leaked.
The decisive tackling of and zero tolerance towards any possible fraud cases, money laundering or other illegal acts is essential and necessary.
Especially today when society is trying to overcome the consequences of the robbery committed by the banks, it is unacceptable that the privileged few, in addition to the support they regrettably receive from the government, are also tolerated by the state in consideration of the possibility of illegal acts being committed against the majority of the people.
