Lifting of Immunity for MP Nikos Syka for Investigative Proceedings
January 15, 2026
The Supreme Court decided to lift the immunity of MP Nikos Syka so he can be investigated for alleged assault against his partner. This unanimous decision was made considering the seriousness of the charges, which are unrelated to his duties as a member of parliament. His lawyer emphasized that immunity should only apply to parliamentary responsibilities. This action is seen to serve the public interest. Syka is also a candidate in the upcoming elections.
