Court Denies Release of Defendant in Domestic Violence Case
April 12, 2026
The Court of Appeals ruled against the release of a defendant accused of domestic violence, citing the risk of new offenses. This decision upholds the previous ruling from the District Court of Nicosia. The defendant faces 12 charges, including assaults and threats against his wife. Despite his objections, the Appeals Court found his claims to be unfounded. It emphasized that the protection of society outweighs the individual freedom of the defendant.
