The case against the 33-year-old defendant in the terrorism case was set for sentencing on November 25. He may be called as a prosecution witness against the other four defendants. Proceedings before the Larnaca Criminal Court took place behind closed doors today.
The 33-year-old’s case was filed separately so that the possibility of calling him as a prosecution witness against the other four defendants could be considered.
During today’s proceedings, the facts were outlined and the defence made submissions in mitigation.
The 33-year-old faces charges under the law on terrorism.
The other four defendants face a total of ten charges, including supporting and participating in the terrorist group Hamas, as well as conspiracy to use explosives. Their case was set for plea on November 17.
