In clearing the accounts of people of the night, the Police attributes the attempted murder that was committed at 5:00 in the morning in Ayia Napa.
The victim of the gangster attack is the 47-year-old businessman Kyriakos Hadjisavva, who is being treated in an extremely critical condition at the Nicosia General Hospital.
The chronicle of the assassination attempt
The perpetrator set up a grenade launcher on the victim, outside the apartment complex where he lives, on Tefkrou Anthia Street, in Ayia Napa and shot him once in the head when he got out of his vehicle.
The 47-year-old was found covered in blood by a resident of the apartment building, who notified the Police.
Shot from a distance
The forensic findings show at first sight that the shooting was not by contact.
The Police are in full mobilization - Fears for a new blood cycle
The criminal act against Hadjisava has alerted the authorities, while fears are expressed for a new blood circulation in the area.
Increased security measures have already been taken in the area, for fear of a new blood cycle.
Investigations are still under way to determine whether the assassination attempt on Hatzisavva, who declared himself unemployed, is related to other criminal acts in the past.
Closed monitoring circuits are examined
Police are examining the closed surveillance circuits in the area, in order to verify the identity of the perpetrator.
However, it is not excluded that he is a paid executor from abroad.
Second attempted murder against the 47-year-old
This is not the first time an assassination attempt has been made against the 47-year-old.
In 2009, unknown individuals again attempted to assassinate Hadjisava, who was then a cabaret owner.
Strangers shot and wounded him outside the Othello nightclub.
Three months ago he was beaten in Ayia Napa
Three months ago, the 47-year-old was beaten in the center of Ayia Napa, with the police investigating whether the specific incident is related to the attempted murder against him.
People, also known to the authorities, had been arrested for the beating.
From the Famagusta Police Department, however, several people passed for testimony.
