The Police have launched an ex officio investigation into information circulating online regarding an alleged assault of the wife of the Mayor of Paphos, Phaedon Phaedonos.

She expressed her wonder at the motive behind these false reports and called for respect for her private life and that of her family. The case has generated significant interest and discussion on social media, with many expressing their concern and calling for transparency in the investigation.
