Antonis Georgiou successfully defended his client in a high-profile criminal case before the Assize Court, the highest first instance court for serious offenses in Cyprus. Through effective cross-examination, Antonis Georgiou dismantled the prosecution's case, ultimately leading the court to reject the credibility of the complainant's testimony.

The clients were acquitted of all charges, highlighting Antonis Georgiou's exceptional skill in challenging witness credibility and securing favorable outcomes in criminal defense.
