Police are searching for nine more people of non-Cypriot origin, in connection with an ongoing case of securing a residence permit in the island with forged documents, the force said on Saturday.
Seven people have already been arrested on Friday to facilitate the interrogations. Those were remanded for eight days by the Nicosia District Court.
Among them, was a 40-year-old public official, who is being investigated for the offences of corruption, accepting public office, abuse of authority and neglect of official duty, Cyprus News Agency said.
In a tweet, Interior Minister Constantinos Ioannou said he was disappointed over the incident and was taking all steps necessary to protect the public’s interest.
“Such actions are unacceptable, and the interior ministry will take all action possible to ensure such behaviours are not repeated again.”
