Businessman Targeted in Ayia Napa is Abroad, Investigators Seek Clues

A businessman from Ayia Napa, who has been the target of criminal activity four times in the past, is currently abroad. Police are awaiting his return to obtain a statement regarding the shootings that occurred at his residences. Investigators are continuing their investigations at the homes that were shot at, while reviewing security camera footage. However, the footage from the properties' cameras does not appear to provide significant information. Authorities believe the motive for the attacks is financial, but no arrests have been made so far. Previous statements and testimonies have not led to the identification of the perpetrators. The latest criminal act occurred in December, with shots fired at a family home. Prior to that, there were bomb threats against businesses owned by the same businessman, with a hand grenade found in one instance.
