The Politis newspaper covered the story extensively under the headlines "Ramboes from FBI and FinCen to Clear Our Name - A Helping Hand from the U.S. to Clarify Sanction Violations."

The newspaper reported that an international investigation known as "Cyprus Confidential" revealed allegations that Russian citizens in South Cyprus obtained residency and citizenship by abusing the existing system through law and accounting firms. To restore South Cyprus's international reputation, the article emphasized that collaboration with the United States, particularly with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen), will be pursued.

According to the news, a team of 24 individuals, including officials from the FBI and FinCen, will visit South Cyprus to support Cypriot authorities in investigating 29 pending cases related to Russian citizens.
