An MP is facing arrest following allegations of assault against his partner while they were abroad. The woman testified to the police that the charges relate to two arguments, with the latter escalating into physical violence. According to the complaint, the cause was the woman's clothing, which the MP considered provocative. The woman returned to Cyprus and testified for four hours. Authorities expect the MP to be arrested upon his arrival on the island and will request a lifting of his parliamentary immunity.
