AG called on to detail all overturned prosecutions

An MP on Monday asked the attorney-general’s office to hand over information on how many criminal prosecutions have been discontinued under the watch of attorney-general George Savvides and his deputy Savvas Angelides.

The request was made by Akel’s Irene Charalambides, chair of the House human rights committee.

Charalambides said the information she seeks relates to the period since the AG and his deputy took office.

Both men were appointed to their current positions in June 2020.
