Lawyer Found Guilty of Advertising Property Services in Occupied Territories

A lawyer has been found guilty by the Disciplinary Council of the Bar Association for advertising property sales services in the occupied territories through his company's website. The lawyer admitted to advertising services to non-resident clients for the acquisition of properties throughout Cyprus, including the occupied areas. The Disciplinary Council ruled that the advertisement created the impression of providing services in areas not controlled by the Republic of Cyprus, rejecting the lawyer's claims that the advertisement was merely informative. A penalty is expected to be imposed on the lawyer.
