Special Criminal Procedures

Overview

The Cyprus Criminal Justice System also includes a number of Courts procedures dealing exclusively with violations of the provisions of Income Tax Law, Social Insurance regulation, uncovered cheques, cases concerning Municipalities and Community Authorities, and other cases of a private nature, such a Private Prosecution.

Private prosecution is a special criminal proceeding which is initiated by a party either an individual or a private organization instead of the Republic. Private prosecutions are often initiated for cases such as fraud by false representation or by failing to disclose information and uncovered cheque. In such procedures, besides the defence of the accused, we undertake and handle cases in which the client wishes to file a criminal case against another person or legal entity.
