Radical developments in the case of the 132 kilos of drugs found on 8 March at the port of Limassol.
YKAN proceeded with the arrest of another person, 61 years old, in connection with the mammoth case. He is an employee of the feed company, within which the drugs were hidden, and who had effectively led to the identification and arrest of the 38-year-old. As it emerged from the investigations of the Service, the 61-year-old was directly involved in the importation of the huge quantity of drugs.
In his interrogation he confessed his involvement and that together with the 38-year-old Greek Cypriot in custody, they had arranged the importation of the huge shipment and that they had twice more brought containers to Cyprus, which again contained drugs.
As reported in a previous Cyprus Times report, the 61-year-old, who is an employee of the animal husbandry company to which the container that arrived from Spain with the illegal cargo was registered, had initially told the police that he was unaware of anything and that its arrival was arranged by the 38-year-old. It will be recalled that the two have known each other since the Central Prison after serving time at the same time for different cases.
