The trial of Giorgos Christodoulou, also known as "Zavrantonas," continued in Nicosia's criminal court with significant developments regarding the evidence presented against him. Accused of importing and possessing over 15 kilograms of cocaine, the defense raised questions about the discrepancies between the quantities of narcotics seized during a police raid in early 2019 and those analyzed later by the General Chemical Laboratory.

During the court session, Maria Konstantinou from the General Chemical Laboratory provided testimony regarding the evidence. The defense argued that the amount of cocaine analyzed may not correspond to what was originally recovered. This claim has sparked a debate over the integrity of the evidence collected and submitted to the authorities. The case is marked by its high profile and ongoing public interest, with the hearings aiming to clarify the circumstances of the drug's handling and chain of custody.
