Developments took place in the case of the 645 kilos of drugs, which were found in 2019, in fukoudes that were exported from Cyprus to Australia, as the members of YKAN proceeded to arrest a 70-year-old man.

As YKAN spokesman Stelios Sergidis told KYPE, as the case is before the Criminal Court, with the 32-year-old owner of an import and export company as well as the 59-year-old accused, a testimony emerged involving a 70-year-old.

As a result, the Police arrested the suspect yesterday and today he is expected to be brought before the Limassol District Court for the issuance of a detention order. 

The drugs (methamphetamine) were found on the camouflaged bottom of a large number of grills, by the Australian Authorities, who cooperated with the Cypriot Police to investigate the case.
