Investigation into Phaedon Phaedonos Continues – File Returned to Police with Instructions from Legal Service

The file regarding the case involving the suspended Mayor of Paphos, Phaedon Phaedonos, and the allegation of sexual assault, has been returned to Police Headquarters from the Legal Service with instructions for further investigative work. The file was submitted to the Legal Service on February 26, 2026, and after review, it was deemed necessary to conduct additional investigative actions. The case concerns a complaint filed by a businesswoman and the alleged victim. The Legal Service assigned the evaluation of the evidence to a legal official before issuing instructions to the Police. No specific timeline has been set for the completion of the process due to the need for further investigations. Mr. Phaedonos has already given a statement at Police Headquarters as part of the investigation. In a public statement, he rejected the accusations and spoke of an “orchestrated attack” against him, characterizing it as an attempt at political extermination. The case is ongoing and the Police are expected to proceed with further investigative actions, in accordance with the instructions received from the Legal Service. This development marks the continuation of the investigation into the serious allegations made.
