An indictment is dismissed when the particulars are so vague and incomprehensible to the extent that the accused cannot be informed of the nature and reason of the charges.

In 2016, the Nicosia District Court ruled in the context of a private criminal prosecution against our client, that the multiplication of an indictment is not a fundamental rule of irregularity.

A European Arrest Warrant were issued against our client for the alleged offenses of terrorism and/or supporting a terrorist organization in Germany. Efstathios C. Efstathiou had argued successfully that the initial EAW by German authorities was invalid because it was issued at the state level.
