September 7, 2026

The court proceedings regarding the Holy Monastery of Osios Avvakoum continue at the Nicosia Criminal Court. Witnesses describe making financial contributions for the monastery's construction and purchasing icons, without receiving clear information about their status. One witness, Marina Tomazou, testified that she transferred a total of €4,620 via Quick Pay to Father Nektarios, expecting to receive an icon in memory of her father. However, she discovered that the icon did not include her father's name, leaving her feeling deceived. The trial reveals serious doubts about the financial transactions and the promises made to the contributors.
