German Property Grabber Case: Request to Add Witnesses to Proceedings

The trial of German real estate agent Eva Isabella Kiunzel, accused of usurping Greek Cypriot properties in the occupied territories, continued with an objection from the defense regarding her amended investigative statement. The defense challenges the voluntariness of the modified text, arguing that it differs substantially from the original statement and that the defendant had no opportunity to dispute its content. However, the court stated that its instructions for shaping the text had been fully followed. The Prosecution argued that the amendment was made strictly based on a court order.
