Mystery in Limassol: Concern for missing 56-year-old Russian businessman - All possibilities being investigated

Extensive searches are underway to locate 56-year-old Russian businessman Vladislav Baumgertner, who has been missing from Limassol since January 7th. The delay in reporting the disappearance and adverse weather conditions are complicating the work of the authorities. The searches, which included aerial and ground resources, as well as the participation of the Civil Defence and volunteers, were forced to be suspended due to bad weather but will continue today. The Port Police have been put on standby. The disappearance was reported to the authorities on Sunday, three days after the businessman went missing. Authorities are expecting to contact the Russian Embassy and relatives abroad. The case is being treated with seriousness and all possibilities, including foul play, are not being ruled out. The public is following the developments with concern.
