Cyprus Corruption Video Exposed as Edited Sting | Europe News

A Cyprus state investigator has called a viral video alleging corruption a “hybrid attack” designed to smear the nation’s reputation, concluding the people filmed didn’t break any laws. The video, produced by private firm Black Cube (which won’t name its client), sparked outrage and led to the resignation of a top presidential aide—especially ironic given Cyprus’s EU presidency and its efforts to rebuild its image as a clean financial hub. While the investigator says the original footage was real, the edited version released online was misleading, calling it “not authentic.” Cypriot authorities now offer immunity to those who helped produce the video in exchange for cooperation, while Black Cube insists its evidence was verified. Opposition parties have slammed the report as a “whitewash,” fueling accusations of cover-ups as investigations continue.
