Legal Service Requests Lifting of Nikos Sykas' Immunity

The Legal Service of Cyprus has submitted a request to the Supreme Court for the lifting of the immunity of MP Nikos Sykas. This move follows a thorough review of the case and aims to assess the possibility of further judicial investigation. The case has already sparked strong reactions and led to Sykas' removal from the DISY party's ballot for the upcoming parliamentary elections. Meanwhile, the woman who had accused MP Sykas has withdrawn her complaint, adding a new dimension to the case. The Police have been informed of the withdrawal. The Political Bureau of DISY has scheduled a meeting to ratify or revise the previous decision to remove Nikos Sykas from the ballot, taking into account the latest developments. The case is scheduled to be heard in the Supreme Court on January 13th. The next steps of the Police regarding the investigation of the case remain uncertain.
