The Mayor of Paphos, Phedonas Phedonos, has legal problems. Police are asking him questions. They ask about blackmail. There are also big checks about corruption. These checks look at bad behaviour.
The police might have hidden things. They also look at money. Building plans at the town hall are checked. This happened for many years.
Mayor Phedonos says he did nothing wrong. He thinks it is a political fight. He says a family problem is why they ask about blackmail. He also had a fight with a builder. The builder's name is Theodoros Aristodemou.
Annie Alexui made new claims about corruption. She says she has videos as proof. She thinks police did bad things and hid them. The Justice Minister said checks must be fair. He said they need real proof.
The big check at the town hall began in 2022. It looks at money and building mistakes. The Audit Service joined in 2023. Police fighting crime took over in 2024. The case went to the Legal Service.
These checks are important for leaders. They can help people trust leaders. Leaders want to be fair. They must check all serious claims.
