In this regard, two circumstances come to mind:

Two and a half years in prison (that is, only 0.5 years more) was appointed by a Cypriot court to an 82-year-old citizen for shooting a thief in the back on his property. Then the President of the Republic pardoned the convict.
Does anyone know the name of a Cypriot village where shotguns are not fired into the air at Christmas and New Year?
