What happened
Disputes regarding the Vasilikos gas terminal and the Prometheus unit escalated to arbitration in London on November 10, 2026. George Papanastasiou raised claims about the facility, stating that "politics and vested interests" obstruct infrastructure projects. Although Stefanos Stefanou requested an investigation into Vasilikos, the anti-corruption authority confirmed that the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is already conducting a criminal inquiry into the project.
