Police to Seek Legal Advice on Allegations Against MP Nikos Sykas

The Police will seek guidance from the Legal Service today regarding the handling of the complaint against MP Nikos Sykas, concerning allegations of assault made by his partner. The case is being investigated seriously, but the Police have refrained from further comment pending official instructions. Simultaneously, the Police are investigating the death of a 78-year-old and the possible poisoning of four other individuals, having already sent samples from the water cooler for analysis. Two of the poisoned individuals have received antidotes and are hospitalized, while a third is in a comatose state, but their health is improving. Furthermore, the Police Association is protesting changes to police working hours and pay, arguing that they would not have been necessary if the planned recruitment of 384 officers had been carried out.
