A policeman who was jailed for six months for child pornography is now back in the force due to administrative rules.
Police on Thursday confirmed that the officer is back at work, albeit in a position with no contact with the public.
It is understood that the policeman was released just last week.
A three-member committee is reviewing his case and their sentence could range from a reprimand to dismissal.
Spokesman Christos Andreou told CNA on Thursday that police had sought legal advice from the office of the attorney-general on whether the officer should be suspended and had been told that this was not warranted under administrative laws.
A decision on the officer would be taken by the disciplinary committee handing his case.
“The final say on the handling of the disciplinary case and the result itself rests with this independent committee,” he said.
