The Attorney General Costas Clerides` application for the removal of Erotokritou was submitted to the Supreme Court on the basis of the latter`s misbehaviour related to his activities, actions and statements during the period between 14.4.15 – 23.4.15 as well as the handling of criminal cases concerning VAT under circumstances that suggest a conflict of interest in an earlier period.
