Anorthosis creditor files for club’s liquidation

The company that has been assigned the maintenance of Famagusta football club Anorthosis ‘Antonis Papadopoulos’ stadium has filed for the club’s liquidation, citing non-payment for its work since 2013, with the Larnaca District Court scheduled to hear the case on January 25.

According to the suit, Greentech Trading Ltd, a Nicosia-based landscaping business, is owed a total €185,000 by the football club, which it has repeatedly sought to be paid.

Anorthosis, the plaintiffs claim, has repeatedly reneged on settlement agreements signed between the two companies, and is thus unreliable and uncreditworthy.

Greentech asked the court to order the liquidation of the company, or “any other measure deemed appropriate by the court”, in order to receive its dues.

Originally filed in November, the case was set for hearing by the court on January 25, 2016.
