A police officer has been arrested in connection with a significant money laundering operation in Limassol. The 45-year-old officer, currently serving, is under investigation for his alleged involvement in organised crime.
Authorities initiated two separate operations on Thursday, focusing on tackling money laundering activities. During the first operation, investigators searched the officer’s home, uncovering various items that are now considered evidence. As part of the ongoing investigation, a court order was issued to freeze assets exceeding €220,000, which includes a luxury car.
The second operation resulted in the arrest of two additional suspects: a 49-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman. They are being scrutinised for their potential roles in a criminal organisation linked to money laundering. Similar to the officer’s case, a search of their residence yielded significant evidence, and assets worth over €200,000 have also been frozen, including four luxury vehicles.
These arrests highlight the ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to combat organised crime and money laundering in Cyprus. Investigations are still underway, and further details may emerge as the cases develop.
