Appointment of Two Investigating Officers for the Turtle Incident

The Paphos Western Communities Complex has appointed two investigating officers to investigate the incident involving a dead turtle found on a Chlorakas beach. The decision was made at a meeting of the Complex, which acts as the legal employer of the workers involved. The investigation will be disciplinary in nature and will examine potential serious disciplinary offenses allegedly committed by the workers. The aim is to fully investigate the facts and impose the penalties provided for in the Disciplinary Code and Collective Agreement. The investigation will focus on protecting the reputation and smooth operation of the Complex. Four workers had already been charged in connection with the incident and released with a promise to appear in court later. The incident has sparked strong reactions, and the Paphos Western Communities Complex appears to want to ensure that responsibility is assigned and measures are taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.
