He may have secured the €50.000 required to remain free, however, the 51-year-old defendant in the case of the murder of Stavros Demosthenous still remains on trial in the Central Prison. Despite the new restrictive conditions set by the Limassol District Court during the referral of the case the day before yesterday, it seems that there are still issues that do not satisfy the Limassol Registry.
According to information from Filenews, the accused presented to the Registry four bank checks for a total amount of €40.000, as well as €10.000 in cash, thus covering the total amount of €50.000 imposed by the Court on January 29. The conditions stipulated that the amount had to be deposited either by bank cheque or by bank transfer. However, the fact that part of the amount was paid in cash and the rest in 4 cheques, seems to violate the Court's order.

Cyprus lacks legislation regulating the treatment for animals after their death, hindering law enforcement for cases in which they are treated disrespectfully, animal welfare commissioner Antonia Theodosiou said on Thursday.
“The treatment of animals, even after death, in a manner that is not consistent with the principles of a modern, sensitive society, is a reprehensible act,” she said.
Theodosiou spoke of a legislative gap, emphasising the need to examine the possible criminalisation of such acts based on existing regulations in the EU’s and other national legal systems.

Fidias told a Cypriot television station two days ago that the project is being “built” with his Slovak colleagues. Fico is known for his close and often controversial relations with Moscow on the European political stage.
