The court of appeal has upheld the suspension of Paphos mayor Phedonas Phedonos. He was initially suspended in February by the Interior Minister due to accusations of rape and domestic abuse. Phedonos has been receiving a third of his mayoral salary during this period. His suspension will remain in effect until the legal proceedings concerning the allegations are finalized.
If cleared, he is entitled to the full back pay for his suspended tenure. The allegations surfaced following claims by a social media personality, supported by documents suggesting domestic abuse, though Phedonos's wife has strongly denied these claims, stating their marriage is harmonious. Separately, a land developer accused Phedonos of rape approximately a decade ago, an accusation made after previous legal disputes between the developer and the municipality.
This decision impacts the leadership of Paphos and highlights the legal processes surrounding serious allegations against public officials.
