Expert mission to Cyprus

Six experts, including from the Council of Europe, were in Cyprus providing customised on-site technical expertise to the main national stakeholders in the fight against sports manipulations. This included the Cyprus Sports Organisation, the national betting authority, the national police, betting operators, and the ministry of justice, including the district attorney. Assistance was based on information collected via earlier phases of the project (questionnaires, regional seminar, study visit, country reports) and exchanges with Cypriot authorities. The visit discussed the draft legislation criminalising sports manipulations and culminated in a meeting of stakeholders with the view of establishing a national platform to combat the phenomenon. It coincided with Cyprus signing the Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions on 4 May 2017 (in Strasbourg).
