Supreme Court Overturns Search Warrant for Tziapouras' Safes

The Supreme Court of Cyprus overturned the search warrant for Nataly Tziapouras' bank safes, which was issued in July 2025 as part of an investigation into organized criminal activity involving drugs, protection, and illegal gambling. The decision was based on the lack of sufficient and specific evidence to justify the search, as determined by the Supreme Court. The case is linked to a convicted criminal allegedly running the criminal organization from prison, using a mobile phone to coordinate activities. The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of protecting individual rights and the obligation of authorities to fully disclose all material facts when issuing search warrants.
