Former DISY MP Nikos Sykas has made three main points regarding the Limassol district, regarding the Legal Service’s decision not to proceed with the criminal case that was being investigated against them, in connection with a woman’s complaint of assault.

In a written statement, he notes that “for me, this chapter is definitively closed.”

“I will continue to be on the front lines, consistently serving my party, Limassol, and my fellow citizens. I remain steadfast in the principles I have served and continue to serve. That has always been my position. It remains so today.”

Read the statement in its entirety:

Following the completion of the investigation into the case and the Legal Service’s decision not to proceed, I consider it my duty to make a public statement:

• From the very beginning, I denied the allegations and voluntarily requested the lifting of my parliamentary immunity. Throughout the investigation, I showed absolute respect for institutional procedures, I cooperated fully with the competent authorities, and I insisted that the justice system must be allowed to complete its work without interference.

• The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of any state governed by the rule of law. This process serves as a reminder that institutional and political decisions must be made objectively, calmly, and based on the facts, only after the prescribed procedures have been completed.

• The credibility of institutions is strengthened when they operate free from outside influence, with transparency, independence, and a commitment to the rule of law—not under the weight of premature judgments or moves designed to make a splash.

For me, this chapter is definitively closed. I will continue to be on the front lines, consistently serving my party, Limassol, and my fellow citizens. I remain steadfast in the principles I have served and continue to serve. That has always been my position. It remains so today.
