Katip Demir, the Turkish Cypriot mayor of Ayios Sergios, was convicted and sentenced to six months in prison for document forgery. The ruling, which occurred on July 10, 2026, marks him as the first Turkish Cypriot mayor to receive such a conviction. The charges stemmed from an incident in 2017, where Demir was found to have forged a municipal council decision.
In addition to the forgery, reports indicate that he was also charged with obtaining a loan through fraudulent means. The court emphasized the seriousness of the crime, noting that forgery of official documents undermines public trust in institutions. Alongside the six-month sentence for forgery, some sources mention an overall prison term of eight months, reflecting the combined nature of his offenses as ruled by the court.
