Application for Return of Cypriot Citizenship Denied Due to Late Appeal
April 10, 2025
A man is seeking the return of his Cypriot citizenship and his family's passports after they were revoked due to his listing as a wanted person by Interpol. The Administrative Court rejected his appeal, deeming it tardy. The applicant had acquired citizenship through exceptional naturalization as an investor, with the reasons for revocation related to serious criminal charges. The judge stressed that there was insufficient evidence regarding the applicant's notification of the government’s decision.
