Giorgos Christodoulou, known as "Zavrantonas," has denied allegations of possession and trafficking of over 15 kilograms of cocaine as his retrial commenced in Nicosia. In a court appearance on June 16, 2026, he pleaded not guilty to the two charges he faces, marking the beginning of the substantive phase of this high-profile case.

The retrial was initiated following the annulment of a previous conviction by the appellate court, prompting the Permanent Criminal Court of Nicosia to handle the case again. During this session, the court dismissed a defense request related to documents concerning the key witness, Yiannis Andreou, stating it was irrelevant.

The next phase of the retrial is anticipated to unfold as the court delves into the details of the case involving the significant amount of cocaine.
