Woman Withdraws Assault Complaint Against MP Sykas

The woman who had accused MP Nikos Sykas of assault has withdrawn her complaint in a letter to the Police, stating she has no further grievances. The case had sparked strong reactions and led to Sykas' removal from the DISY party's electoral list for the upcoming elections. Prior to the withdrawal, the Legal Service was preparing a request to the Supreme Court to lift Sykas' parliamentary immunity. The Police will now consider the next steps, with no certainty whether the investigation will continue. This development follows a period of intense public debate and political pressure.
