Paphos Municipality Official Returns to Duty After Court Ruling

A Paphos Municipality official has returned to her duties following a court decision that upheld her appeal against her dismissal. The dismissal followed allegations she made against the then-Mayor, Phaedon Phaedonos, and the Municipal Secretary. The court ruled that the presence of the Municipality's Legal Counsel at Council meetings as a stenographer was illegal, as it is not provided for by law. Furthermore, the court accused the Municipal Council of failing to conduct a substantial investigation into the official's allegations of workplace bullying, psychological violence, and potential criminal acts. The official will receive all wages lost during her dismissal.
