Neither the defamation nor the industry of false allegations of rape escaped Cyprus.
The name of Ayia Napa was discredited abroad due to the false complaint of a 19-year-old British woman and the Mayor of the city himself stated last night that he is taking the necessary legal measures to restore the name of his city.
Through twitter, he even calls on the British Sun to establish the truth and publish the truth, now that it has been proven that the British woman's complaint was not valid. This, however, is not the first time that Ayia Napa, in particular, has come under the scrutiny of professionals, mainly tourists who, making such a false complaint, often seek money from insurance companies.
The "industry", however, beats in other tourist resorts both in neighboring Greece and in other countries, with the motivations of tourists being the same in similar cases. In a similar case in Kos, a 26-year-old from Sweden demanded compensation of 800 thousand euros from insurance against the background of her rape by at least 4 Britons as she complained.
The Greek, Swedish and Interpol authorities were involved in the case until it was proven that it was a false complaint. British defense attorneys demanded compensation after the false allegation was revealed, citing fraud.
Notably, there is an incident that took place the day before yesterday in Naxos starring Greeks and a tourist from Sweden. According to local media in Naxos, the young woman had an affair with two locals on a deserted beach and then filed a complaint for rape.
According to the same local media, the police investigations showed that the Swede had secured a rape incident.
They also spoke about fraud again, foreign media on the occasion of an incident that occurred in the summer of 2018 in Thailand starring a young British tourist. The young woman had reported rape by locals during a vacation and left tips to the local Police that she did not investigate her complaint and closed the case. For its part, the local police stated that they investigated the case and identified that it was a false complaint.
