Police operations result in multiple arrests and asset seizures in Limassol and nationwide

On Thursday, Cypriot police conducted two targeted operations in Limassol against organized crime and money laundering, resulting in the arrest of three individuals. A 45-year-old serving police officer is being investigated for money laundering, with over €220,000 in assets, including a luxury car, frozen by court order. A 49-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were also arrested for participation in a criminal organization and money laundering, leading to the freezing of over €200,000 in assets and four luxury cars. In a separate, nationwide operation during the night, police arrested eight people for offenses including drug possession, carrying knives, and illegal possession of property. Officers checked 388 vehicles and 476 individuals, issued 219 traffic citations—including 81 for speeding—and identified two drunk drivers. Four premises were cited following 41 inspections, and two vehicles were seized. Investigations remain ongoing for all cases.
