Court Case Over Rally Held in State Forest: Three Cyprus Automobile Federation Officials on Trial

The Cyprus Automobile Federation and three of its officials are on trial for holding a rally in a state forest despite the refusal of the Forestry Department. The prosecuting authority, on behalf of the Attorney General, argues that the Federation was the sponsor of the race, while the defense claims that the responsibility lies with the Limassol Automobile Club. The Court has adjourned the hearing for the lawyers of the parties to submit their positions at a later date, with the case scheduled for April.
