DISY MP Nikos Sykas appeared before the Supreme Court on Monday as prosecutors moved to strip him of parliamentary immunity over allegations of psychological violence and abuse.
The court set a hearing on the Law Office’s immunity waiver request for Thursday, 15 January 2025, at noon.
Sykas’s lawyer, Christos Pourgourides, did not object to the immunity waiver request but said he wished to comment on certain issues in writing.
The Attorney General submitted his positions to the court on Monday. According to the filing, the MP is considered a suspect for offences of psychological violence and abuse.
