The issue with the cameras and videos from inside the Monastery of Saint Habakkuk is escalating, as the archimandrites have formally accused a specific individual who is alleged to have acted on behalf of the Tamassos Metropolis.
According to their written statement to the investigators, the archimandrites state that when the cameras were installed inside the Monastery, they were programmed not to record sound, only images.
Hence, anyone entering the area with the cameras spoke as if sound was not being recorded.
However, eventually, someone with access and knowledge of the codes activated the system, recording sound, with the archimandrites pointing towards a specific direction from which the commands were issued.
Regarding the camera issue, a complaint has also been lodged with the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, who is investigating the matter and awaits the position of the Police and others regarding who installed the cameras and who activated the sound, something prohibited by legislation.
Nevertheless, the investigations by the two other units of the Police are now undergoing a new process, as the investigators have now formed a picture of what was happening, and they will now attempt, through testimonies, to substantiate one by one the allegations made, concerning criminal offenses.
