Former supreme court judge Michalakis Christodoulou has acknowledged knowing the woman referred to as “Sandy”, a central figure in the sexual misconduct allegations made by Makarios Drousiotis, while insisting he will present his account to police and rejecting claims of wrongdoing as fabricated.

Speaking on Alpha TV, Christodoulou confirmed that he had become acquainted with the individual between September 2020 and autumn 2021.

He declined to disclose details ahead of giving a formal statement but characterised his involvement as supportive.

“I tried to support her like a father on some issues that are not for publicity,” he said.

He indicated that both his relationship with the woman and any messages exchanged would be addressed directly with investigators.

“As I will give a statement to the police and about the messages we exchanged, I don’t want to give details,” he said, adding that “my cell phone and everything are at their disposal.”

Christodoulou suggested that, in hindsight, he may have been misled.

“This seems to be the case in retrospect,” he said, when asked whether the woman had taken advantage of him.

He also confirmed that he, along with his wife and eldest daughter, intend to file complaints with police concerning what he described as false information about his family and the alleged fabrication of documents.

“These serious allegations that are imprinted on the public are likewise weighing on my own mind. Why? Why me, why now? With all this fabrication, there is not even a trace of authenticity,” he said.

The former judge denied any connection to Demetris Papadakis or Morfakis Solomonides, both also named in the allegations.

“I didn’t even exchange a hello,” he stressed.

The claims form part of wider allegations by Drousiotis, who maintains he has extensive evidence pointing to collusion involving political and judicial figures.

Those named have rejected the accusations, while Papadakis has submitted his phone for forensic examination, stating that independent analysis will prove the messages attributed to him are false.

Disy in its statements issued on Thursday further lambasted both Drousiotis and opposition parties.

The party called for all allegations to be formally submitted to authorities, warning that claims aired publicly without evidence risk becoming “mudslinging and slander for political or election exploitation”.

Disy further accusing opposition actors in reference to the alleged clandestine cabal as disclosed by Drousiotis, retorting that “the only brotherhood systematically seeking to cause chaos and destabilise the country is that of Odysseas Michaelides, Akel, and Volt.”

In response, Akel rejected the criticism and reiterated calls for a full investigation into the allegations.

The party insisted that all claims should be thoroughly examined, including renewed scrutiny of past cases such as the surveillance “black van” affair.
