The Permanent Criminal Court of Nicosia has dismissed the defense's objection regarding the submission of key evidence in the case involving the Monastery of Avvakoum. This decision, made on July 20, 2026, asserts that the objection essentially revisits issues that had already been addressed in a previous interim ruling. The court's ruling allows for the presentation of the evidentiary materials in question, rejecting claims from the defense about the unlawful acquisition of this evidence.

Additionally, the case involves a significant sum of €806,660, which remains under strict measures administered by the Money Laundering Authority (MMA). The status of these funds continues to be a pertinent aspect of the proceedings, as the court evaluates the implications surrounding the financial elements involved in the monastery's activities.
