Cyprus has abolished a lucrative programme granting citizenship in turn for investments after an Al Jazeera expose.
The parliamentary speaker who is seen in the undercover video says he will abstain from duties until an investigation is completed.
Aljazeera exposed senior politicians who took part in a scheme to help a criminal buy a Cypriot passport.
Al Jazeera’s David Harrison reports from Nicosia, Cyprus.

Political bribery, and then obviously blackmail, explains Putin’s hold over them, as if it wasn’t obvious before.

This is very Awesome and insightful… Well, I will also say this here. The awareness about making money online is getting higher daily due to Covid-19 pandemic, as the Cryptocurrency world has recently witnessed high flow of traders mostly when it comes to Bitcoin trading. But due to lack of Trading experience, a lot of traders lost so much either by executing trades wrongly or using the wrong strategy. As a trader, I have been able to record massive success and making good profits because I was lucky enough to find a working strategy/daily signals which was provided by a professional trader known as *Huffmantradingservices*
His guidance and accurate signal is one of the best anyone could get in terms of BitcoinTrading. During my first month of Trading with huffman’s daily signals, I was able to grow my initial deposit from 1.0btc to a total of 5.6btc which you would agree is a very good profit. Huffman’s daily signals are very accurate and yields a great positive return on investment and he’s always available to help. Don’t be fooled online here, trade with the right signals and monitor your trade by yourself. Someone helped me get to him and that’s why I’m here sharing my experience because we rise by lifting others.

Fawad Arun: The sell the whole island of Cyprus to europe and all nations because they don’t like Turkey and Erdogan without even think twice what will happen to us, the Cypriots..
We cypriots have no future here..
Rampant corruption in Cyprus.
No wonder the Turkish community in the North turned their back on them.
You are hypocrites, what difference does it make a criminal that crossed the borders at night with a criminal that buyed a passport?
addmit it
The late it’s useful, the former it’s a burden yet for the late you are ashamed and for the former you are compassionate. The late it’s an embarrassment, the former it’s a tragedy…
Hypocrisy
@cq33xx We all are hypocrites that is true..
@Abraham Tsfaye yeap. our nation is corrupted up to the highest level. i feel shame for being a cypriot.
Al Jazeera is doing it’s thing😂😂Why are high level people n Cyprus meeting with lowly people who want citizenship. Don’t they have people for that😂
Good work it need to be done with more countries aswell in Europe.
*North Cyprus🇹🇷 🤲*
Shut up north Cyprus is a fake State and if your a Turkish Cypriot and you say that your a traitor or you maybe are another puppet of Erdoğan I am a Greek Cypriot Christian and I demand your respect if your a Turkish Cypriot when you loose your homes and jobs from Turkey illegal immigrants the Turkish Cypriots will not exist you idiot these what you want?
@Mr K I already answer
Congratulation Al Jazeera and thank you.
Thanks aljazeera
Well done!
Well done for what? What grabbing the MIT provided baton?
Τώρα να δω που θα πουλήσετε όλο αυτό το τσιμέντο που σηκωσατε
I don’t think people really grasp the work that Al Jazeera just did here. This is incredible work.
Not Al Aljeera its MIT.
It’s time the government helps the Cypriots that paid into the System for years and are now suffering due to banks that was giving free money without making sure they have enough security for the clients to be able to pay back their loans. Al Jazeera should investigate the big banks in Cyprus and expose them!
Cypriots are very happy to see the video of Al Jazeera. Syllouris Demetres and many officials at all levels where taking advantage of their position not only for the investment program The legislation system judges lawyers police and government officials are working together in an deep state corruption.
@Abraham Tsfaye You have no idea how big corruption in the occupied north is it involved even worse examples of human rights violations.
@Christodoulos Polycarpou Any wonder why the Turkish community in the north don’t want anything to do with you. I know Cyprus and Greece is short of money but selling passports for money?! A new low.
@Abraham Tsfaye follow the news more closely and done be biased.
@Abraham Tsfaye why you hate so much Greek peoples..maybe your from mongolia?
@Abraham Tsfaye You are agent of Turkey. Turkey is ISIS
nice good job al jazeera
what a corrupt country and they taking money from the EU claiming they have no money now we know where the money goes and i have to add greek language is just ugly
Al Jezeera just threw a wrench in a lot of Saudi’s ‘ Plan B’ 😂
GREAT job
Cyprus is 2nd class country,no need for investment
🍷😂
Turkey had should take back whole island in 74.

Now is my job
In Christianity there is a saying “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone’.” Most of the governments are worse than the Cypriot one but ofc you have to do what you are paid for… to serve the interests of the countries that want to harm Cyprus!
It’s irrelevant. Don’t use excuses for wrongdoing of Cyprus because of countries are bad too. It’s good that they are willing to change, which shows that Cyprus is willing to change wrongs, unlike other nations.
@Mr K all these are paid political games to harm Cyprus. Open your eyes. They targeted Cyprus now on purpose. Cyprus is a little island that suffers and gets attacked from everything and everywhere. Having some investment plans is not a bad thing. All governments do it. I’m pretty sure other countries are way worse but ofc they had to target Cyprus, this little island to harm its economy and reputation and serve other countries interests. Obviously the ones who are responsible and corrupted should get punished but not only in Cyprus, everywhere. Having a global humiliation just to serve other countries should not be acceptable especially from Cypriots. Why didn’t Al Jazeera do this to other bigger countries and targeted only Cyprus? Wake up!
@Mr K Cypriots better not make the same mistakes they’ve done in 1974. As now they are just half island and there is no way back. They have to focus on the real enemies who are way too ready make a war to Cyprus. the corrupted people will get what they deserve. Don’t let these distractions blind you again while the fire is wildly approaching you.
@Arian Jangali Shut up birch Cyprus hasn’t done anything wrong and I watched the documentary, they legit did nothing illegal. Dodgy yes, illegal no.
Congratulations.
Cyprus should start to change return to Greece.
Thank you Al Jazeera please provide us with more videos
Well done Al Jazeera.
No, you dont have the full support from Cyprus. Just from our corrupt political system. Hope Al Jazeera does more digging and i am pretty sure they will find a lot more. Some justice at last.
Amazing job Al Jazeera. This is true journalism.
In order true mighty jurnalism to take place, the target have to be naive enough and harmless enough… can not be any better target than Cyprus
Good job, Cyprus. And also good Job al jazeera. This is how journalism should be. More of that.
Shame on you so-called journalists
Rampant corruption in Cyprus.
No wonder the Turkish community in the North turned their back on them.
and your country is corruption free i guess right? there is corruption everywhere my friend. in all countries and governments.
@Andreas Efstathiou Any wonder why the Turkish community in the north don’t want anything to do with you. I know Cyprus and Greece is short of money but selling passports for money?! A new low.
From where you are getting your news? Turkish Cypriots in north don’t want Turkish. I have been in the north a couple of times and I was surprised to see that. This scheme of selling passports for money exist in many countries as well as USA, but somehow you are willing to ignore that
The issue wasnt that they are selling passports for money, that is quite legit. The issue is about selling passports to criminals.
All countries have these and worse. For example Erdogan has ties with ISIS . This video is been released now to distract people from Turkeys illegal action to invade Cyprus once again and open Varosia area.
Good job al jazeera! You did more with this story than RT has done since it had been founded. Keep on finding the loop holes for criminals.
Bravo cyprus democrasy get theme in prizon.
Good job, Al Jazeera 👍
Tragic news. I was looking forward to becoming a Cypriot. Guess it’s Malta for me.
If the U.S. mainstream media would only do the same with our crime family, and its head. Instead, they censor the New York Post.
So we are back to using the other more expensive EU members because they have blown the cheaper Cyprus that was getting more action than them… Oh well sacrifice the toe to keep the foot
We shall do our best😂😂😂🤣
Good job AL Jazeera. If only this example could break the thick masks of mainstream media, then the world would be more peaceful.
The corruption exist at all levels of the Greek Cypriot government. Especially the police force is nothing more than organized crime.
Η μποχα και η δυσωσμια εφτασε απο ακρη σε ακρη του νησιου.Κοπριες!!!
