Demetris Papadakis said he has handed over his mobile phone for forensic analysis and expects results by Friday, according to statements made during an appearance on Politis radio. Speaking to Katerina Eliadi, Papadakis said the device has already been examined by a recognised forensic expert and that the findings will also be submitted to police specialists for further investigation. He stressed that the same phone has been in his possession since 2019 and called for the results to be delivered directly to the Chief of Police, regardless of the outcome.

Denies any connection with Christodoulou

Papadakis categorically denied any relationship with Michalakis Christodoulou, whose name appears in messages published by Makarios Drousiotis.

“I have never had coffee with this person, I have never seen him in my life, and his number does not exist in my phone,” he said.

Asked how his name appeared in the messages, Papadakis dismissed the issue as “fiction” and said he would not engage with what he described as fabricated claims.

Claims of “set-up” and fake messages

Papadakis repeatedly referred to a “set-up” by Drousiotis and rejected the authenticity of the messages, describing them as fake.

“I do not know whether Mr Drousiotis fabricated them,” he said, adding that none of the content corresponds to reality.

He also said he checked the dates and times referenced in the messages and found no corresponding activity. “I looked and found photos with my colleagues in the Netherlands on that day, but no messages,” he said. The case remains under scrutiny as authorities await the forensic findings, which are expected to play a key role in determining the validity of the material circulating in connection with the allegations.
