The immediate mobilization of the Cyprus Police, in cooperation with the Danish Authorities and Europol, led to the arrest of three individuals in the context of an investigation into a serious case involving conspiracy to commit murder and participation in a criminal organization.
After receiving information through Europol about planned assassinations in Cyprus for a fee, the Cyprus Police immediately activated operational planning, in collaboration with a team from the Danish Police.
The coordinated investigation and evaluation of information and evidence led to the issuance of court warrants and an operation in the Larnaca and Famagusta districts, during which three suspects were arrested. They are expected to be brought before a court today for a detention order.
The operation highlights the importance of speed, operational readiness and international cooperation in tackling new forms of serious and organized crime.
The Cyprus Police is steadily strengthening its cooperation with Europol and European law enforcement authorities, with the aim of preventing and effectively tackling organized crime.
The examinations are continuing by the Special Investigation Team of the Police Headquarters, in collaboration with the competent European Authorities.
