Overview
- On Monday, Aug. 3, a Cypriot court removed travel restrictions for one month and ordered the 37-year-old to return by Sept. 15 or face a European arrest warrant.
- The man is charged with causing death by a rash, reckless or dangerous act after his son fell from a fourth-floor window during a family holiday earlier this month.
- He was released earlier under conditions that included surrendering his passport and posting a €20,000 bond and put up an additional €10,000 so his passport would be returned temporarily.
- Prosecutors allege he was holding and swinging the child when the boy fell, a claim the family denies and the defence says it has not yet received the prosecution's full evidence.
- Reporters and local accounts note there was no CCTV in the corridor where the fall occurred and that the hotel involved has faced prior guest deaths and regulatory scrutiny, raising questions about safety practices.
