Former Supreme Court President Myron Nicolatos said that 53% of the 6,779 passports issued throughout the 13-year program were given to family members or company executives rather than investors. The attorney general’s office had given warnings in 2015 and 2016 that Cypriot law didn’t permit passports to be issued under these conditions. Nicolatos said that EU and Cypriot laws could confuse the process when it comes to relatives and company executive recipients who weren’t directly to blame....

Wearing gloves isn’t strictly necessary, but it can help protect your hands if you have sensitive skin. Cleaning a cool TV is easier than cleaning a warm one. Warm screens can react with your cleaning product, leaving streaks behind. If you don’t have a microfiber cloth, you can use a 100% cotton T-shirt instead.
