Investigation into Alleged Assault by Limassol MP – Disy in Turmoil

Turmoil has erupted within Disy headquarters in Pindarus following an allegation of assault against a Limassol MP towards his partner at a hotel in Greece. The MP is accused of physical violence during a New Year's holiday. Disy is awaiting the assessment of the Limassol TAE's request for a lifting of the MP's parliamentary immunity by the Legal Service before making any decisions. The party leadership emphasizes that violence is condemned and that the matter will be thoroughly examined, taking into account the presumption of innocence. The case will be examined legally, as according to the Penal Code, offenses committed abroad by Cypriot citizens can be prosecuted in Cyprus if they are serious.
