The prosecution and the defence squabbled on Thursday on the admissibility of phone communications as evidence in the ongoing trial of Giorgos ‘Zavrantonas’ Christodoulou. Christodoulou is on trial before Nicosia criminal court, facing charges of importing 15kg of cocaine with intent to sell. The hearing turned heated when lead prosecutor Vasilis Bissas attempted to submit as evidence a court order concerning access to private communications. Having heard both sides, the court overruled the objection, allowing the order to be submitted as evidence. According to the defence, the document does not constitute primary evidence, but rather a summary drafted the officer.
