Court Rejects Application for Restoration of Criminal Record

November 17, 2025

The Limassol District Court rejected Rikkos Erotokritou's application for the restoration of his criminal record, emphasizing the seriousness of the offenses for which he was convicted. The decision highlights that accepting the application would send the wrong messages to society and undermine trust in the judicial institutions. Erotokritou was significantly involved in the offenses, and his application was submitted shortly after his sentence. The court believes that the public interest is not served by restoring his record. Memories of the case are still fresh in Cypriot society.
