Supreme Court Lifts Immunity of MP Nikos Sykas

The Supreme Court has decided to lift the immunity of MP Nikos Sykas, following a request from the Legal Service regarding the complaint of assault against his partner. The complainant had withdrawn her complaint, citing stress and inability to testify in court. The Court ruled that the offenses are serious, unrelated to the MP's political activity, and that the Prosecutor's request is justified. Mr. Sykas' lawyer did not object but expressed concerns about the possibility of building a case without testimony. The decision transfers the matter to the Political Bureau of DISY to decide on the MP's political future.
