The Nicosia district court ruled that neither the legal service nor the police leaked information to the media in connection with a criminal case against a property developer in 2014.
Jurors in the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, Donald Trump, could render their verdict in his hush money case as soon as next week.
A 41-year-old driver was acquitted by the Limassol District Court in the 2019 death of school inspector Petros Petrou, 62. The victim was struck by the defendant’s vehicle while crossing a street, and factors such as inadequate lighting and the victim’s dark clothing were considered in the ruling. The Court found the driver was not reckless, driving within the speed limit and designated lane. Expert testimony showed the collision was unavoidable due to a short reaction time. Improvements have been made to the road since the accident. The family of the deceased may choose to appeal the decision.
