The Supreme Constitutional Court has called on former auditor-general Odysseas Michaelides to submit all evidence he claims he has in his possession regarding “collusion and corruption” within the court in relation to a ruling against him for “inappropriate behaviour”.

The court called for an immediate investigation of Michaelides’ complaint, made on an Omega TV broadcast on Tuesday.

Police chief Themistos Arnaoutis also called on Michaelides to submit any information in writing, acting on instructions from attorney-general. The testimony will be received on Wednesday.

Michaelides said he was willing to testify and repeat under oath what he had said publicly.

In a statement on social media, Michaelides said President Nikos Christodoulides was “hiding behind his minister, instead of giving explanations about why his associates stated that they were aware of the Supreme Constitutional Court decision to disqualify me even before the final closing arguments.”

“He is once again using communication tricks,” Michaelides said of the president.

He added that if the Christodoulides government really wanted to protect the institutions, it should address the problems in the fields of justice, which are causing “insecurity, anxiety and fear throughout society”.

Regarding the “miscarriage of justice”, which we believe “can be substantiated”, Michaelides said they “have already been included in my application to the ECHR, along with the other arguments regarding the violation of my fundamental human rights.”

“This is my response to the Supreme Constitutional Court,” he said.

The court call came after Michaelides announced the formation of his new political party Alma on Monday.

“The seriousness of the issue imposes the immediate transfer of all evidence Mr Michaelides claims to have to the competent authorities of the state and the investigation of the complaint as fast as possible,” the court said.

Michaelides was fired on September 18, following a Supreme Constitutional Court decision, as he called the outcome a “black day for Cyprus”.

In a unanimous ruling, a panel of eight judges found his conduct had been inappropriate and thus he was unfit for his duties.

The 209-page decision was hard-hitting, saying Michaelides repeatedly misinformed the public, crossed the line and did not even do the bare minimum his role demands of him in terms of conduct.

Judges ruled his repeated clash with officials on social media reflected a “thoughtless and dangerous” approach, while they said Michaelides operated without objectivity.

He was found to have repeatedly sought to undermine attorney-general George Savvides’ legal opinions, often rebutting with his own interpretation of legal readings.

The judges determined Michaelides operated out of malice. He was described as engaging in a rhetoric that was rife with irony and enmity.

Michaelides emerged from the court saying he was leaving “with a clear conscience” and the result of his dismissal was part of an effort to see him removed which began four years previously by former President Nicos Anastadies and the legal service.
