German Property Fraudster Case: Bail Decision Pending, Mobile Phone Data Examined

The German real estate agent accused of property fraud remains in custody for over 22 months, with a decision on her bail application pending from the Nicosia Criminal Court. The defense lawyer, Sotiris Argyrou, argued that the detention is excessive, citing case law from the European Court of Human Rights and the delay in the trial. The Prosecution, represented by Anna Matthaiou, countered that the detention conditions are adequate and that the detention is within legal limits. During today's hearing, a witness from the Cybercrime Subdivision was examined regarding data extracted from the defendant's mobile phone, with the examination continuing tomorrow.
