The Cyprus Police Association (CPA) issued a statement condemning the serious incidents that occurred at the GSP stadium after the APOEL-AEK match. The CPA describes the events as unprecedented, exceeding all limits of fan violence and turning into criminal acts. It highlights the destruction of police vehicles and the theft of police equipment, characterizing its possession by citizens as a felony. The CPA demands the immediate use of all available means to identify the perpetrators and the full protection of police officers who manage such situations. It emphasizes the devaluation of the police institution and wonders whether the public wants a police force capable of enforcing the law or a police force as a target for criminals.
