Apoel fans in Larnac were hanging a banner with insults of Eurodepa Fidias Panayot

On Sunday, August 24, during a football match between Krasava and the Apoel, an Ammonostos stadium was posted with insulting expressions. Larnaki police launched an investigation.

The banner, hung in the Apoel fans sector, contained an inscription in Greek: "Turkish fiddle fidias, disgrace of Cyprus." According to the police, the message was sent against Fidias to Panayota.

The case is being investigated in the framework of the Law on the Prevention and Prevent of violence at sports facilities in 2008, which prohibits racist and insulting slogans.
