November 20, 2025
A 69-year-old lawyer from Limassol was sentenced to six months in prison for issuing an uncovered cheque of €175,000. The cheque was issued in 2019 and could not be cashed due to a closed bank account. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the offense but recognized the lawyer's remorse and clean criminal record. However, she concluded that imprisonment was the only appropriate punishment to deter further legal violations. The complainant stated that he was approached by the lawyer to invest in a shipping fund.
