The case of the murder of Thanasis Nikolaou, which occurred in 2005 in Limassol, has taken a swift turn. Twenty years later, Thanasis's family filed private criminal charges against five individuals because the Legal Service did not proceed due to insufficient evidence. The indictment was recently filed in the Limassol District Court and will be examined by judges. If approved, the charges will receive an official registration number. Court decisions are expected within the next few days.
