It’s time for the AG to fight for justice

Three rousing cheers for the Attorney General’s courageous defiance of the court over its failure to accept the video taped evidence of vicious, criminal assaults by ten cops on two helpless students.

Mr Clerides has clearly experienced an Epiphany. We now look forward eagerly to his snappy prosecution of the 20 or so rapacious developers who, aided and abetted by their crooked lawyers, have cheated thousands of innocent victims through the Immovable Property Tax scam.
These criminals have pocketed millions of euros, extorted from buyers of homes here, in the guise of money demanded by the State for taxes, very little of which ever found its way into Government coffers.

We also expect his latest divine revelation to inspire him to reopen the case of little Hannah (not her real name) who was allegedly raped at the age of four by her father with no case having ever been properly followed through. The Attorney General’s failure to prosecute this man has enabled him endlessly to harass the child’s mother in court, where he continually tries to gain custody of this little girl, who is still terrified at the very sight of him.

Mr Clerides, this is another case where the evidence of experts has been ignored – only by your office this time.

Please do keep up the work of seeing that justice is done.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
