Lawyer's Allegation of Omissions in Rape Investigation
October 2, 2025
The victim's lawyer reported indications of cover-up by the authorities and requested the immediate appointment of an independent investigator. She submitted a new sworn statement expressing concerns about police omissions in the case. She notes that no forensic examination has taken place and crucial surveillance footage has not been secured. The police claimed that attempts to take a statement from her client were unsuccessful. The case has now been transferred to the Chief Deputy's Criminal Investigation Department after being handled by Nicosia CID.
