Cyprus Court Case: Woman Accused of Selling Land

A court in Cyprus made big choices. A German woman is accused of selling land wrong. She is 49 years old. The court said a new police paper from her can be used. Her lawyers did not like this. The other side can also bring more people to talk. This also made lawyers unhappy.

The woman is accused of selling houses. These houses were for Greek Cypriot people. This happened in north Cyprus. Turkey is in north Cyprus. The woman's paper was made after she was caught in 2024. Using this paper was a big fight. A past court said it could be used. But parts were taken out. The other side wanted to use this new paper.

Her lawyer, Sotiris Argyrou, was very against it. He said it was not the same. He said his client did not check it. She could not say if it was right. The judge, Nikolas Georgiades, did not agree. He said the complaints were not good. The judge said the paper was checked well. It followed what the court said before. So, the court said the other side can use a copy of the paper.

The other side also asked for more people to talk. This will help their case. The defence lawyers did not like this. Mr. Argyrou was worried about when they would talk. He said he did not know about them. He asked if this was not fair. The other side said the new talks will not change their main points. They said it will not hurt the woman. The court case will still be fair.

The court said yes to the new paper and more talks. This is good for the other side. They passed a hard step. The defence lawyers still have problems. They are trying to question the other side's ways. These court choices will change the case. The court will look at more things. The defence still has worries. The final choice will use all the facts.
