The Limassol CID handcuffed a 41-year-old woman in Limassol
The Limassol CID proceeded with the arrest of a 41-year-old woman in connection with a case of extorting money through false representations, theft by proxy and money laundering from illegal activities.
Specifically, it was reported by several citizens that the above suspect was posing through a company of her own interests that she could submit applications and secure sponsorships from various projects and energy programs of the Ministry of Energy Trade and Industry as well as grants for renovation of houses in the countryside.
For each application, the misrepresented persons paid the alleged suspect a sum of money for submitting the application and for carrying out work.
From the investigations so far, it appears that more than 30 citizens were fooled by the alleged suspect and that a sum of money in excess of EUR 60,000 was siphoned off.
