Prosecution fails to hand over witness material in Thanasis Nicolaou case

By Tom Cleaver

Prosecution lawyers in the case against an alleged cover-up of the circumstances regarding the death of conscript Thanasis Nicolaou failed to hand witness material to the defence on Thursday.

The matter was raised by defence lawyers at the Limassol district court, who said that the delay in the handover of the material will “form the basis” of their pre-trial objections.

They said they will also object to the fact that Nicolaou’s family’s laywer Savvas Matsas is to act as a prosecutor.
