Court to Decide on Detention of 4 Suspects for Illegal Possession of Property on Wednesday

Four suspects were arrested on Sunday in Paphos for illegal possession of property and illegal possession of an offensive weapon (in the case of the first suspect). The arrests were made following information about a meeting of members of organized crime groups in a tavern. During the searches, significant sums of money were found in the possession of the suspects (3,000, 5,000, 12,810 euros) and an iron knuckle. The first suspect claimed that the money found in his possession came from the unemployment benefit he receives, while he bought the iron knuckle for protection. The other suspects did not give satisfactory explanations for the origin of the money found in their possession. The second claimed to be a tourist and brought the money from Romania.
