A prosecutor named Savvas Matsas has left his job. This is for the Thanasis Nicolaou case. He will now be a witness. This happened on Thursday. The court will wait to start the trial.
This case is about a soldier who died in 2005. People think the truth was hidden. Matsas decided to change his role. Another investigator did not want to talk. That investigator wants a new job. This job means he cannot give evidence. Matsas also has another reason. He has not told everyone why.
A law firm will now lead the case. Christos Clerides's firm will do this. Alexandros Clerides will help them. The court said yes to the delay. This was needed for the change. The defence did not like this. But the judge said no more delays.
There are charges against five people. They are accused of hiding information. Matsas was part of the case for a long time. His words could be very important. This change is a big step. It may help the soldier's family find answers.
