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.

The court found that the prosecution's claims were entirely false, and based on the cross-examination, the judge deemed the evidence unworthy of consideration. The clients were acquitted of all charges, highlighting Antonis Georgiou's exceptional skill in challenging witness credibility and securing favorable outcomes in criminal defense.
