Property Encroachment Case: New Witnesses to Testify Against German Realtor

The German realtor, Eva Isabella Künzel, accused of encroaching on Greek Cypriot properties, maintains she had no way of knowing the ownership status of the properties she promoted for sale. The defense argues that the case is politically motivated and that the investigation was biased, a claim refuted by investigating officer Dimitra Stavrou. The defense emphasized that property advertisements in the non-controlled areas do not mention the distinction between Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot properties, and that the investigating authorities did not investigate this point. The investigating officer responded that the advertisements refer to the situation in Cyprus and the non-recognition of the pseudo-state by the international community. The trial continues with the examination of new witnesses.
