Cypriot police say Sandy was employed by "various companies" between 2001 and 2023 which makes less likely that she had travelled abroad. Now, if they really wanted to get a confirmation about her journeys, they should have asked German authorities. This is what MLATs are for.

The account in question was deleted about a week ago.

Contrary to what Cyprus's police are saying, Sandy indeed left the island in March 2021 to find refuge at a women's shelter in Germany. Curiously, about a week ago, one of her 3 Signal accounts she was using when I shared a list of shelters, was deleted. www.documentonews.gr/article/ena-...

Η Σάντη ταξίδεψε στη Γερμανία για να φιλοξενηθεί σε καταφύγιο θυμάτων βίας κατά των γυναικών, σε αντίθεση με το τί ισχυρίζονται στην αστυνομία. Ο λογαριασμός Signal που της έστειλα συμβουλές για το καταφύγιο συμπτωματικά "σβήστηκε" πριν μερικές μέρες. www.documentonews.gr/article/ena-...

A friend in Cyprus told me earlier today that the silence of women's rights groups on the island following recent reports about Sandy's alleged rape when she was 13, remains deafening. But it's not surprising. The government controls civil society with grants conditional to benevolent behaviour.

The only purpose served by the killing of journalists in conflict zones I can think of is the elimination of evidence of war crimes.

If Cypriot authorities investigated crime with the same zeal they cover it up, crime in Cyprus would be the lowest in the world.

Cypriot lawyer Nicos Clerides's electronic devices seized by police contained sensitive client communications, including the case of a mother accusing the government of covering up her son's murder in 2005 while he was serving in the army. www.reporter.com.cy/article/1407...

I explain how I got to know "Sandy", how Sandy left Cyprus to seek refuge in a women's shelter in Germany as she felt threatened at the time. She repeatedly sought to report her case to police. Her complaints were ignored. She ultimately returned to Cyprus, most likely under durress.

I have been advised that during the search at lawyer Nicos Clerides's home and office, the police was searching electronic devices with keywords mostly related to controversial financial and political scandals in Cyprus. Another keyword they used was my name.

Σήμερα δημοσιεύτηκε η δική μου μαρτυρία στην υπόθεση της Σάντης που προκαλεί τριγμούς σε Κύπρο & Ελλάδα. Σε συνεντεύξεις της το 2020/21 μου είχε αναφέρει πώς κινδύνευε. Απέδρασε από το περιβάλλον κακοποίησης μόνο για να επιστρέψει μήνες αργότερα. www.documentonews.gr/article/sant...

Orban may be flushed down the drain of history but his xenophobic, authoritiarian legacy will most likely persist.

BREAKING: On Saturday morning, Cyprus's police raided the residence & is currently heading to the office of lawyer Nicos Clerides with a search warrant. The search is following a brisant report published by investigative journalist Makarios Drousiotis about a child rape case from the 90s.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

Is the failure of investigating the murder of this journalist the result of incompetence or reluctance or even a combination of both? If I had to place a bet, I would not rule out a cover-up.

It makes perfect sense.

Netanyahu gambled with his country's security and won Iran the right to continue its nuclear programme. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Trump and Netanyahu lost the war. Today it is the beginning of a new era in the Middle East with Iran emerging not only as the victor but also as the legitimized leader of the axis of resistance which foreshadows more turbulent times. All thanks to Trump and Netanyahu.

I am sure he thinks he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for this and if he doesn't get it, he will still feel justified to attack Greenland.

And some people gave us shit for Don’t Look Up being too over the top. Man oh man do I wish it was.

If there's a trace of dignity and sense of responsibility among Republicans, it should be them who should initiate his impeachment and removal this time around.

Dear American voters, shouldn't you start considering seriously whether you should grant the international community a say in selecting your presidents in the future to so offset your evident lack of maturity and judgement?

I won't be surprised if it turned out that Luk does go to war but not to help out comrade Vova or supreme leader Kim Jong Un but instead to help the machinations of Con Don and secretary of state Marco von Rubintrop.

Yes, they can. Just like snakes they can resort to molting i.e discard their old skin. The EU countries fed up with Orban and Fico could leave the current EU to set up a reformed union of European countries with different rules with no place for Putin's clowns (or Trump's clowns for this matter).

But he has a point. 😂

I too decided today not to fall out of the window of a 10-floor building.

It somehow reminds me the following verses from Goethe's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice": "Sir, my need is sore. Spirits that I've cited My commands ignore".

Are there any other convicted criminals @politico.com might want to treat as experts on business and finance?

The 16:31 passage applies not only to Putin: "...the government and the parliament are already completely stripped of their power..." (die Regierung und das Parlament sind bereits total entmachtet). It also reminds of the current situation in the US, where a criminal is calling the shots.

Putin is apparently so spooked by reports that Israelis hacked Tehran's traffic cameras to kill Khamenei, that he has stopped coming to the Kremlin, started taking his meetings virtually, and shut down cell service in Moscow. My latest. puck.news/putins-post-...

Americans must be tired of winning.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Kremlin media failed to cover news about the "Mr. Nobody against Putin" which revolved about Kremlin propaganda in education, by whitewashing news as part of the Kremlin's traditional propaganda handbook.

Coincidentally, I watched this documentary just yesterday. First account truth-telling could not be more impressive.

Mr Nobody Against Putin, a primary school teacher’s record of the indoctrination of his pupils to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has won the Oscar for best documentary

Is he implying that it only remains for Iran to run out of targets? 😏

A song from the 1980s reflects the situation more accurately. www.youtube.com/watch?v=on-y...

The Putinisation of the US military continues.

An EU member with cojones.

I am so relieved.

When you suck as a Nobel Peace Prize candidate, why not try your luck in regime change wars?

While this ruling is a milestone in the chronicles of Greece's justice, it remains a compromise of a compromise following an extensive cover-up by political office holders to protect the masterminds.

At the end of the day, the Supreme Court did Trump a favour ahead of the midterms.

The inhumanity is the point.
