Police Guard Mykonos Urban Planning Office Ahead of Special File Audit
Police have been ordered to guard the Mykonos Urban Planning Service building until a special team reviews its records.
A prosecutor’s directive has resulted in the Mykonos Urban Planning Service building being sealed off and continuously monitored by police, prohibiting any access until a comprehensive review of its archives is completed. The Cyclades Prosecutor’s Office issued the lockdown yesterday, citing unresolved prosecutorial orders that the agency has failed to act upon. Authorities aim to protect the integrity of the documents ahead of a scheduled audit by a special inspection team, which is expected to reach Mykonos on Monday.
The team’s exact composition has not been finalized, though it may come from another island’s planning office or from Athens. This probe is notable because the Mykonos planning authority has repeatedly faced legal scrutiny over illegal construction, zoning violations, and related complaints. Inspectors will examine how the department has handled court and prosecutor orders and whether there have been delays or omissions in processing related cases.
