Cyprus authorities had no involvement into OLAF case of diverted EU funds, Spokesperson says
It is likely that OLAF’s reference to Cyprus does not concern the areas under the control of the Republic of Cyprus, Government Spokesperson Kyriacos Koushos said on Tuesday.
Koushos said that this was concluded from information the government of Cyprus has had so far and in view of the fact that no relevant authority of the Republic has been involved or informed of an OLAF case of diverted EU environmental research funds to a casino - hotel, as well as that the only company which has undertaken such a project in Cyprus has issued a denial.
In a press release on Saturday, OLAF referred to a case recently concluded during which it was discovered that EU funds intended for an environmental research project had instead been diverted into a casino/hotel project in Cyprus.
