Journalist and Volt candidate Makarios Drousiotis delivered a dossier of documents to investigators at police headquarters on Tuesday, stating that it contains extensive material linked to allegations he has raised in recent days.

Arriving shortly after 2pm, Drousiotis, brandishing the dossier, said that the file “includes all the information,” adding that the volumous file contains a “three-digit number of documents” detailing the history of the case under investigation.

The material has now been formally submitted to police as part of an ongoing inquiry into claims involving corruption and abuse.

When questioned about conflicting accounts from the woman at the centre of some of the claims, referred to as ‘Sandy’, who is reported to have contradicted key elements of his claims, Drousiotis declined to engage directly.

“We’ll see,” he said, adding that her position was “none of my business”.

He confirmed that he has had no recent contact with her.

In a post on social media later, the researcher said he handed over to police a statement 34 pages long “consisting of 137 items of evidence in electronic format”.

The evidence related to the content of the article he had published on his website.

According to Drousiotis, the text messages in the possession of the person called ‘Sandy’ point to “serious cases of corruption and financial crime, and raise suspicions about other grave offences – including murder, rape and paedophilia”.

His information also covers potential “white-collar crime, committed with the collaboration of the system of power and also the depositing of the loot in trust funds overseas”.

The information pertains to various cases, dating from the stock market bubble in the late 1990s, as well as loan agreements and home repossessions.

“In this nexus there appear to be implicated political persons, judges, lawyers and other figures.”

Drousiotis added: “The survival of the institutions of democracy is at stake. References to specific individuals who held or hold senior office would render impossible any in-house investigation by the police or the attorney-general’s office.”

As such, the researcher calls for an independent probe by criminal investigators who are “above suspicion”.

Drousiotis also said he sent a copy of his statement to President Nikos Christodoulides.

The submission of the dossier follows days of escalating developments surrounding the case, including disputes over the credibility of digital material and testimony.

Investigators are examining evidence provided by multiple parties, with police indicating that all material received will be assessed before conclusions are drawn.

Disy leader Annita Demetriou cautioned against actions that could undermine public institutions, saying that “those who invest in the destabilisation of the system must take into account the consequences”.

She called for responsibility in public discourse, adding that institutions must be allowed to carry out their work and resolve the matter promptly.

Dimitris Papadakis, after being removed from the parliamentary ballot by Alma following Drousiotis’ accusations of conspiracy with former supreme court judge Michalakis Christodoulou, likewise lambasted the journalist for his “fairy tales”, alleging that the material originated from a “factory of false messages”.

He affirmed that forensic evidence from his mobile phone due to be released tomorrow, will “vindicate his reputation”.

At the same time, lawyer Nikos Clerides has raised concerns about the handling of the investigation, alleging pressure and procedural irregularities while distancing himself from his client ‘Sandy’ following reports that she may have retracted earlier claims.

Clerides has also questioned the integrity of the investigative process, pointing to uncertainties surrounding key statements and the management of evidence.
