An investigative team has prepared a report on the progress of inquiries so far into the ‘Sandy’ case and submitted it to the chief of police for review, police spokesman Vyron Vyronos said on Monday.

Vyronos said the report outlines developments in the ongoing investigation into the ‘Sandy’ case and that the chief of police will brief Justice Minister Costas Fitiris accordingly.

“The case is at a very advanced stage, but I cannot specify at this time an exact date for the completion of the investigative work,” Vyronos said.

References to possible fabrication in some elements of the case have prompted further scrutiny, with investigators aiming to establish “precisely how the names mentioned in the case emerged” and how they were connected to the communications presented.

A delegation from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has already met with police, with experts expected to assist in analysing testimonies and technical evidence.

Former supreme court judge Michalakis Christodoulou confirmed that he knew ‘Sandy’, stating that he met her between 2020 and 2021, while firmly denying any involvement in wrongdoing.

Former Bar association president Christos Clerides said he had received material related to the case and had advised that a police complaint be filed, though this did not occur.

Further controversy has emerged from statements by public figures rejecting claims linked to the investigation.

Edek deputy president Morfakis Solomonides has announced his intention to pursue a private criminal case against journalist Makarios Drousiotis, accusing him of “lies, circulation of forged documents and dissemination of false news”.

The case centres on allegations involving serious criminal conduct, including sexual offences and corruption, alongside claims concerning the existence of an organised network involving public figures.

The material under review includes thousands of digital files, among them images, video recordings and audio content attributed to a woman referred to as ‘Sandy’.
