Investigations continue for House President’s complaint about spreading of fake news

<description>

The investigations of the Police Electronic Crime Sub-Division continue at an intensive pace in relation to the case of spreading fake news, which was reported to the Police on Monday afternoon by President of the House of Representatives, Annita Demetriou.

Demetriou made the complaint following a post on a specific social media page, which referred to a close relative of hers and his involvement in a criminal case, with hints and accusations of a cover-up by the House President.

In statements to CNA on Tuesday, Police spokesperson Christos Andreou said that the Electronic Crime Sub-Division continues investigations in order to identify the administrator or administrators of the page in question, who, he noted, to begin with appear to be anonymous.

At the same time, Andreou confirmed that in recent days the police have been taking increased security measures for Demetriou and her close family, clarifying however that the measures have nothing to do with the content of the post.

He added that the increased police presence is related to security measures and not the post on the specific page, ‘which is completely unsubstantiated, false and in no way corresponds to reality.
