Five Greek Cypriots accused in Northern Cyprus following complaints from construction companies
According to the newspaper Ozgur, the Northern Cyprus police reported charges against five Greek Cypriots, who have been in custody for three months. The men and women were detained in July in Trikomo; the grounds for their detention are related to complaints filed by representatives of two construction companies.
As stated in the report, the complaints came from Döveç Construction and Noyanlar Construction through individuals named Ahmet Noyan, Burçin Dövev, Ceyhun Tunali, and Aslı Erçika. The published article does not provide details regarding the nature of the charges or the further course of the investigation.
For residents of Southern Cyprus and those working in the construction sector, this means increased attention to documents and contractual relationships when dealing with companies in Northern Cyprus. In case of disputes or detentions, it is recommended to seek legal assistance and notify consular services if necessary.
Unresolved issues remain: official authorities have not released detailed information on the substance of the charges and court appointments. Additional statements from the local police and legal representatives of the parties are expected.
