The size of the golden passport scandal was bigger than society until today thought

Statement by AKEL C.C. Spokesperson Stefanos Stefanou

4th June 2021, AKEL C.C. Press Office, Nicosia

As the work of the Inquiry Committee progresses, it has been revealed that the size and depth of the golden passports scandal is greater than society previously thought. The illegal naturalizations that have been identified have increased to 53% and the citizenships that must be taken back have doubled to 212.

The shaming of our country caused by the golden passports industry that was set up in 2013 is proving to be even bigger. The government needs to proceed with determination and initiatives, with assumptions and self-criticism so that this abscess that has discredited the country is really cleaned up.
