A US group of financial audit experts is visiting Cyprus in a bid to assist the Cypriot authorities on sanctions violation investigation.

Replying to questions by CNA, Government Spokesperson Konstantinos Letympiotis confirmed the arrival of group of US experts to Cyprus.

Following the publication of the so-called “Cyprus Confidential” by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, containing a trove of leaked documents over alleged violations of the sanctions against Russia with the involvement of Cypriot service providers, Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides said he requested assistance from a “third country” with expertise on investigating sanction violations.
