The Supreme Court has granted leave to Nicos Clerides to file for certiorari to quash the search warrant executed by police at his premises in connection with the Sandy case investigation.
In a statement, the court explained that based on what was placed before it, the evidence submitted was not connected to the premises searched, and that references to the evidence being sought were "general and vague." The court also found that there was no evidence of Clerides's involvement in the case, and that the searches appear to have violated the safeguards protecting legal professional privilege.
The certiorari application, if successful, would quash the search warrant on the grounds that it was improperly issued.
