Aycuts Sentence and the Possibility of Serving Time Abroad
October 25, 2025
Simon Mistirel Aycut was sentenced to five years in prison by the Permanent Criminal Court of Nicosia for the embezzlement of Greek Cypriot properties. There are uncertainties about his defense team's intentions regarding a potential appeal. It is noteworthy that there is a possibility he may serve his sentence in another country, such as Israel or Portugal. If a transfer request is made, the final decision will be up to the Minister of Justice of Cyprus. This court ruling is the heaviest penalty imposed for this type of crime.
