Rejection of Russian convict's parole application for fatal traffic accident
January 27, 2025
A Russian convict, who caused a fatal traffic accident in Limassol in 2019, applied for early release but was denied by both the Parole Board and the Administrative Court. Initially sentenced to 9 years in prison, his sentence was reduced to 7 years. Despite claiming his innocence, his refusal to acknowledge the charge of manslaughter impacts his application for release. The Administrative Court ruled that his continued incarceration is necessary.
