MP Sykas Faces Potential Immunity Waiver Amid Assault Allegations

The Legal Service is reviewing the case file concerning MP Nikos Sykas, who has been accused of assault by his partner. Information suggests that a recommendation for the lifting of his parliamentary immunity is expected. The case has sparked strong reactions, and DISY has already removed Sykas from its electoral list for the upcoming parliamentary elections. If the Legal Service's recommendation is confirmed, the case will be referred to the Supreme Court, which will have the final say on the waiver of immunity. Meanwhile, investigations by the Limassol TAE continue, and the MP is expected to testify to answer the allegations.
