Extortion case of a 77-year-old: New postponement in the trial of the four defendants

The Larnaca Permanent Assize Court has postponed the trial of four individuals accused of extorting tens of thousands of euros from a 77-year-old man. The defendants, two businessmen aged 44 and 42, a 49-year-old prisoner, and a 45-year-old woman, face multiple charges including criminal conspiracy, extortion, and money laundering. The trial, originally scheduled for pleas, was moved to October 30 after defense lawyers requested further evidentiary material. The case stems from long-term financial exploitation and threats linked to real estate deals.
