Admission of Guilt in Cyprus Gangland Case
In a dramatic courtroom scene in Nicosia, a 42yearold Syrian national admitted to the premeditated murder of Demetris Andronikou, a notorious figure in Cyprus’s gangland, potentially facing life imprisonment for this brutal crime. The murder, which took place on April 23 as Andronikou left a police station, exposed the chilling grip of organized crime on the island and has since led to ongoing investigations with five other suspects in custody.
