News summary

Cyprus's Supreme Constitutional Court has unanimously ruled to dismiss Auditor General Odysseas Michaelides, citing repeated misconduct and inappropriate behavior that undermined the authority of his office. The court's 209-page decision highlighted Michaelides's lack of self-restraint and objective judgment, which were deemed incompatible with his role. Accusations against him included improper interventions in ongoing legal cases and baseless claims against the Attorney General's office, leading to a significant institutional clash. Michaelides, who has been a controversial figure known for whistleblowing on corruption, claimed the ruling was a concerted effort to silence him. The case has drawn considerable public attention and could have far-reaching implications for the governance and rule of law in Cyprus. Following the ruling, the President of Cyprus is mandated to enforce the court's decision, marking a critical moment in the country's legal history.
