A 22-year-old man from Larnaca who was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of involvement in the murder of Thanasis Kalogeropoulos was brought before the Limassol District Court today to face charges.
The man was escorted to court with heavy security around 11 a.m. During his transport, associates of Thanasis Kalogeropoulos approached the police vehicle that the suspect was in, shouting various accusations against him.
