Defense Accuses Police Officer of 'Tampering with Evidence' and 'Selective Investigation' in German Realtor's Case

During the trial of the German realtor accused of usurping Greek Cypriot properties in the occupied territories, the defense raised objections to the validity of the document translations and accused the police officer testifying as a witness of 'tampering with evidence' and 'selective investigation'. The defense argues that the investigation was politically motivated and that the defendant was targeted. The court will decide on Friday whether to grant the defense's request for a three-month adjournment of the trial, while the defendant remains in custody.
