A three-month prison sentence was imposed today by the District Court of Famagusta, on a 31-year-old man, a citizen of a third country, following a trial of a case of illegal employment and illegal stay in the Republic.
The 31-year-old was spotted by members of the Police on July 12, in the area of Ayia Napa, working on behalf of a real estate, specifically on behalf of a beer bar in Ayia Napa, trying to attract customers to the beer bar. As it was established, he was working illegally, without permission from the competent Authority. It was also established that he was residing illegally in the Republic, as a result of which the members of the Police proceeded to arrest him.
The next day, the 31-year-old was brought before the District Court of Famagusta to hear the case of illegal employment and illegal stay in the Republic.
