Nicosia, Cyprus. Police chief Themistos Arnaoutis will present the findings of the investigation into the Sandy case and related complaints made by journalist Makarios Drousiotis on Wednesday at noon. The briefing will be held at police headquarters and will end with a question-and-answer session.
Investigation findings
Authorities said the update will address all allegations raised during the inquiry conducted by the special investigative unit. Police sources said the case file was prepared alongside assessments from Europol and the FBI, which examined material and other evidential submissions.
Officials said both agencies had already provided input during the investigative process. Europol is understood to have conveyed its position on evidence forwarded by Cypriot investigators, including dozens of SMS messages and electronic data contained on storage devices.
The FBI report, compiled after experts visited Cyprus to review investigative methods and the profile of the individual referred to as Sandy, is expected to be broadly supportive of the police handling of the case.
Police position
Police investigators have said their findings do not substantiate the allegations made by Drousiotis. They said the claims examined in the inquiry were assessed through witness testimony, digital forensic review and open-source verification, with inconsistencies identified across several key points.
A police statement said the investigation did not confirm the allegations as presented and that the conclusions would be made public in full at the briefing.
