Syka Case: Complainant Withdraws – Supreme Court Decision at 1:30 PM

The case of alleged violence against the partner of MP Nikos Syka is before the Supreme Court, which will announce its decision on the Attorney General's request to lift Syka's parliamentary immunity today at 1:30 PM. During the hearing, Syka's lawyer argued that immunity should be limited to actions committed in the context of parliamentary duties and not serve as a shield for personal offenses. The lawyer emphasized that the complainant has withdrawn her complaint and does not wish to testify in court, questioning the possibility of proving the charges without her testimony. The Prosecution, on the other hand, argued that the process should not be affected by the complainant's decision and that there is material for further investigation of the case. The Supreme Court's decision is expected to determine whether the criminal prosecution of the MP will proceed.
