Storm of questions to the President for the Seychelles

The Parliamentary Audit Committee does not leave the President of the Republic Nikos Anastasiadis in the lurch on the trips of himself and his family to the Seychelles (in 2015 and 2018) and until yesterday 24 questions were submitted, six of which by the Member of Parliament Ecologists George Perdiki and the 18 by the president of DIKO Nikolas Papadopoulos. In the process, it is not ruled out that questions may be asked by MPs from other parties.

As it is known, the members of the Audit Committee stated that they never received the letter sent by the President of the Republic to the Speaker of the Parliament, in which he expresses his readiness to answer any questions submitted in writing.

Some of the questions refer to concealment of information or to untrue answers either by the President himself or by his associates, something that further electrifies the surrounding atmosphere. He is also asked if he traveled to the Seychelles seven months after the naturalization of his Saudi friend.

The president of DIKO sent through the chairman of the Parliamentary Audit Committee the following questions in which he involves not only the President but also the Minister of Interior, the Government Spokesman and his associates who appeared before Parliament when his travels to the Seychelles were discussed:

To confirm that in August 2018, he and his family traveled to the Seychelles for free, in a private jet, which was managed by the company “Jet Stream Aviation”. To state whether he knows that the company “Jet Stream Aviation” is a company owned by Saudi Arabia named Abdulrahman Khalid Salen bin Mahfouz (the “Saudi”) or is a company of its own interests. To confirm that on 3.8.15 -13.8.15 he and his family traveled, or a total of 14 passengers, to the Seychelles with a private jet type Boeing 767-200 with no. registration N-767KS (the “Plane”). To confirm that in the specific trip the aforementioned flight had “Code 1”, that is, “flight of the Head of State”. To inform the Commission who was the owner or operator of the aircraft at that time (3.8.15-13.8.15). How does he comment on the fact that in a relevant investigation of the register of aircraft owners, the company “Jet Stream Aviation” is presented as the manager of the Plane during the disputed period. To inform the Audit Committee if the Plane was given free of charge or on favorable terms to him or his family, during that period, ie 3.8.15-13.8.15 for the trip to the Seychelles. To present to the Audit Committee any evidence of payment of the rental or lease of the Airplane for the period 3.8.15 – 13.8.15 or for the trip to the Seychelles in 2015, if any. To inform the Audit Committee why he did not reveal in his testimony before the Nikolatos Committee that he traveled a second time to the Seychelles by private jet, while he simply limited himself to the report that he went “… own outings …”. To confirm whether six days after his return from the Seychelles, on 19.8.15, they naturalized the second wife of the Saudi investor. To answer whether there was a Legal Service Opinion dated 3.7.2015 which warned that the naturalization of spouses of investors was Ultra Vires based on current legislation. To present this opinion to the audit committee. To inform the Audit Committee why it did not disclose in the statement of the date. 13/2/20 that he traveled for the 2nd time to the Seychelles by private jet or by private jet of Saudi Arabia. To inform the Audit Committee why its representatives did not disclose at the meeting date. 13/2/20 that he traveled for the 2nd time to the Seychelles by private jet. Why did the Minister of Interior, Mr. Nouris, in his response before the Audit Committee, say:

“… the colleagues of the presidency informed me that the aircraft was not reused for private purposes by the President of the Republic …”

(a) What did the representatives of the presidency say to Mr Nouris at that meeting?

(b) Why did they not reveal to the committee that the PTA traveled a second time by a Saudi private jet to the Seychelles, it simply traveled by a different plane?

Reference also to the owner of the jet

The President is also called upon to answer why he stated before the Audit Committee that the trip to the Seychelles took place three years and 8 months after the naturalization of Saudi Arabia (in his second term) and as everything shows:

He traveled to the Seychelles again by plane seven months after the naturalization of Saudi Arabia. In his first term. Six days after the August 2015 trip, they illegally naturalized Saudi Arabia's second wife.
