Cyprus has ordered a trial of four men accused of corruption on EU passport sales in a sting by the Al Jazeera broadcaster in 2020. The group — Cyprus' former parliament speaker, an ex-MP, a lawyer, and a real-estate agent — offered to expedite a passport for a reporter posing as an Asian buyer with a criminal record. Cyprus sold 7,000 passports between 2007 and 2020, Reuters reports.
