The mayor of Lefkoniko is now not working. His name is Pieris Gypsiotis. He stopped because of police studies. The studies are about his home life. This news came out on Tuesday. It is a big problem for the town.
People say bad things about how he treated his family. These are serious claims. If he is found guilty, he could go to jail. He may go for more than three years.
The police are studying abuse at his house. A family member told the police. This makes people look at his life. It also makes them look at his job.
This is not the first time for Mr. Gypsiotis. He had other police studies before. These were about abuse at home. This happened from 2019 to 2023. These things were before he was mayor. One study ended in 2024. A court case was planned for March.
Mayor Gypsiotis says he did nothing wrong. He thinks others are trying to hurt him. He said, "The truth will come out." He wants to keep his job.
The town of Lefkoniko will keep working. Another person will do the mayor's work. The mayor has a long road ahead. People will watch what happens.
