PETALING JAYA: Cyprus' president has pledged to revoke any of his island republic's passports found to have been "mistakenly" granted to wealthy overseas investors under a controversial cash-for-citizenship programme.

After it was reported that fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, got a passport of the island state back in 2015 as international investigators were closing him on him, Nicos Anastasiades said errors could have been made in granting such so-called "golden passports".
