The defendants in the murder case of Thanasis Kalogeropoulos requested to be tried at the Nicosia Criminal Court instead of Limassol, but their request was denied.

They are being held in custody and face charges including premeditated murder. The 41-year-old and the 21-year-old are alleged to be the killers, while the 44-year-old is believed to have organized the plan at his mansion. Kalogeropoulos was murdered in Limassol, and Alexis Mavromichalis, who was also believed to have gangland connections, was murdered in Nicosia, but no one has been arrested for his murder.
