84-Year-Old Convicted of Forest Fire - Sentence Suspended
An 84-year-old man was sentenced to 14 months in prison for arson in July 2025 in Dymes near Limassol, though the sentence was suspended for three years. The fire destroyed approximately 60 pine trees and wild vegetation and threatened state forest areas. The lenient sentence was justified by the defendant's admission of guilt and the relative extent of the damage.
