Στα #CyprusPapers είδα 19 Κινέζους πολιτογραφηθέντες πολίτες (είμαι σίγουρος ότι υπάρχουν παραπάνω). Στο άρθρο 3 του Chinese Nationality Law απαγορεύεται η διπλή υπηκοότητα. Αντιλαμβάνονται κάποιοι στη #Cyprus ότι μια χώρα του P5 την χρειάζεσαι για το εθνικό σου θέμα;
Το ίδιο ισχύει για τον Ιρανό πολίτη με notice από την Interpol. Γιατί χτίζουμε σχέσεις με το κράτος του Ισραήλ αν πολιτογραφούμε, διεθνώς καταζητούμενους, εν δυνάμει αρνητές του Ολοκαυτώματος;
Στη λίστα υπάρχει μέλος του συριακού branch της Μουσουλμανικής Αδελφότητας. Κριτικάρουμε το al Jazeera αλλά πως μπορούμε να πουλάμε την πολιτότητά μας σε χρηματοδότες ισλαμιστικών militants που επιδόθηκαν σε εγκλήματα στη Συρία και πολεμούν για λογαριασμό της Τουρκίας στη Λιβύη;

We're publishing a leak of documents we’re calling the #CyprusPapers

They show the EU nation of Cyprus sold passports to convicted criminals, sanctioned officials & politicians.

We'll be releasing new stories all week. Here's a first look at what we've found.
More than 2,500 people paid to become Cypriot citizens between 2017-19.

Each application costs $2.5 million & brings in needed investment for Cyprus.

We found at least 15 billionaires in the #CyprusPapers.

But we also found dirty money.
People with criminal records have always been banned from buying Cypriot citizenship.

So how come convicted fraudster ZHANG KEQIANG got his passport in 2018?

He’s one of 30 people we’ve found in the #CyprusPapers linked to criminality.
