A lawyer from Nicosia was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for conspiracy with a client to defraud a victim of money. The lawyer was found guilty of collecting €20,000, while his client received a 7-year sentence for defrauding the same victim out of €420,000. The court considered this conduct to be serious due to the lawyer's role in the justice system. The decision came after a lengthy court process with many adjournments.
