New Evidence in Alleged Assault Case Being Evaluated by Police

Police are evaluating new evidence that has emerged in the alleged assault case of the wife of the suspended Mayor of Paphos, Phaedon Phaedonos. If the Police deem there is evidence for further criminal investigation, the file will be forwarded to the Legal Service. Simultaneously, the case of alleged rape is expected to be registered before the Limassol District Court in the coming days. The Legal Service will prepare the indictment when the case is referred to the Criminal Court, while at first instance, the indictment is prepared by the Police. The case concerns complaints from both a businessman and the alleged victim. It is reminded that guilt or innocence is determined by the Court, based on the presumption of innocence.
