German Real Estate Agent Remains in Custody - Bail Request Denied

German real estate agent Eva Isabella Kiunzel will remain in custody after the Permanent Criminal Court of Nicosia rejected her request for bail. Kiunzel is accused of usurping Greek Cypriot properties in the occupied territories. The Court ruled that there was no new evidence to justify her release. The accused faces 46 charges, including fraudulent dealings in real estate, illegal use of property, and money laundering from illegal activities. The defense argued that the long detention, difficulties in preparing the defense, and poor detention conditions justified bail, while reporting incidents such as finding a mouse head in her food and denial of medication. The court considered the complaint about the mouse, but denied the bail request.
