Attorney-general to appeal Syllouris, Giovanis acquittal

The Law Office will appeal Tuesday’s acquittal of former House President Demetris Syllouris and former Akel MP Christakis Giovanis, who were on trial for their alleged involvement in the ‘golden passports’ scandal.

The Nicosia criminal court’s ruling was studied on Tuesday by the legal service, which deemed it could be appealed.

The decision is expected to be officially announced on Wednesday at a press conference, where the Law Office will explain the reasons it will be appealing.
