UNBELIEVABLE: While illegal gambling holds up well, elderly people are dragged to the courts!

Forty-two women, most of them elderly, are summoned to appear in court in Limassol on March 10 on charges of illegal gambling.

The case began in 2009, when 44 women were arrested in a police raid on a house to enjoy their… poker.

The majority of women were between 70 and 96 years old. In 42 of them, summonses were served on the court, since in the period from the arrest until the trial of the case, two ladies died.

The oldest woman today, 98-year-old Eftychia, told the Cypriot radio station "Kanali 6" that gambling was the only joy and pleasure for older women and that she and her company were unjustly accused of committing a crime.

The woman stated that she does not intend, nor is she able to appear in court. "Let them condemn me and let me be imprisoned," he said.
