Documentary on Ayia Napa Prompts Police Investigation into Sexual Harassment Claims

The Police have launched an ex officio investigation following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary containing allegations of sexual harassment of British workers in Ayia Napa by their employers, as well as illegal working and living conditions. Investigations will focus on identifying the complainants to obtain more information. The Mayor of Ayia Napa, Christos Zanettou, did not rule out the possibility of isolated incidents, but stressed that they do not represent the overall picture of the area. The Municipality will cooperate with the Ministry of Justice and the Police to investigate the allegations and identify unsuitable accommodation.
