Nicosia criminal court on Tuesday rejected pre-trial objections put forth by a German national held in connection with usurping Greek Cypriot property in the north.
Her defence lawyer had argued she would not receive a fair trail due to bias. Court threw out the pre-trial objection saying the lawyer had failed to properly substantiate why the court had given the impression of bias.
Another point put forth by the defence lawyer concerned the charge sheet, as well as conflicts the lawyer said exist between national law and the European Convention of Human Rights.
Prosecution asked for time to examine the objections, and the hearing will resume on October 17 at 10am.
