Larnaca terrorism trial postponed to November 12

The Permanent Criminal Court of Larnaca has postponed the proceedings concerning a 33-year-old suspect in a terrorism case to Thursday, November 12, 2026. The session held on November 10 was conducted behind closed doors. Legal authorities have not provided specific details regarding the reason for the rescheduling.

The 33-year-old defendant is one of five individuals facing ten charges, including conspiracy to use explosives and providing support to the terrorist organization Hamas. According to the investigation, the offenses were allegedly committed both within and outside the Republic of Cyprus between 2025 and May 2026. The charges are based on Article 371 of the Criminal Code regarding the fight against terrorism and the protection of victims.

There is a strong possibility that the 33-year-old defendant may be utilized as a prosecution witness against the other four co-defendants. The upcoming session on Thursday is expected to involve a formal presentation of the facts of the case to the court.
