Supreme Court grants leave for Certiorari in Nikos Kliridis case

The Supreme Court of Cyprus has granted Nikos Kliridis leave to seek a Certiorari order concerning a police search warrant executed against him during the 'Santi' investigation. Lawyer Christos Kliridis stated that the court found the case arguable, specifically noting potential violations of attorney-client privilege. The defense argued that the court initially operated under the false assumption that Nikos Kliridis was directly involved in the case, rather than being a witness. The court recognized this as a possible error of law, providing the basis for the leave. This legal step does not constitute a final verdict but allows the proceedings to move forward. The case has been scheduled for May 20, when the Attorney General is expected to present his position. Following this, the court will set a date to examine the substance of the application. The defense emphasizes the importance of this development for the protection of legal professional privilege.
