A twist in the case of 132 kilos of cannabis found in a container at the Limassol port around the beginning of March, was predictably brought about by the death of the 61-year-old Greek Cypriot detained in the same case, who was found dead in his cell on Thursday morning.
The development concerns the 38-year-old Greek Cypriot who was also in custody, who was released yesterday.
It will be recalled that the 61-year-old who ended his life was the man who led to the arrest of the 38-year-old in connection with the mammoth quantity case and subsequently confessed to his own involvement. Specifically, he was an employee of the feed company within which the drugs were hidden. 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.
Interrogated about a week before his death, he had confessed his involvement and that together with the 38-year-old Greek Cypriot, they had arranged the importation of the huge cargo and that they had brought two more containers to Cyprus, which again contained drugs.
According to the Cyprus Times, the 38-year-old man was released pending scientific tests in connection with the case and it is possible that if more news emerges from this process, the authorities will proceed with the registration of the case as normal.
