Lawyer to face trial in Limassol for theft and money laundering

On September 29, 2026, a 47-year-old lawyer was referred for trial before the Limassol Criminal Court regarding allegations of financial crimes. The legal proceedings were initiated following instructions from the Law Office of the Republic of Cyprus.

The accused faces a total of 14 charges, including theft by an agent and money laundering, involving a sum of 185,000 euros. Prosecutors allege that around mid-2023, while acting as a court-appointed co-administrator for the estate of a deceased Russian national, the lawyer transferred funds from the estate’s bank account to her own company’s account without authorization. The defendant, who has been involved in previous court cases regarding theft, remains free under restrictive conditions, including a 100,000-euro bond.

The case is scheduled for a formal hearing in November. This development follows a police investigation into a complaint filed in 2023. The Limassol Criminal Court will now oversee the judicial process to determine the validity of the charges and the potential legal consequences for the accused.
