They did the immigration business, arrested 45 traffickers in 2021

The immigrant situation is out of control. The data that came out on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 after the meeting convened by President Anastasiadis show the big problem.

The President of the Republic decided to send a letter to the Commission requesting recognition that Cyprus is in a state of emergency, while the government gives money to immigrant asylum seekers as incentives to leave the Republic.

In addition to political decisions, the Police also carry a lot of weight. As we are informed, the Aliens and Immigration Service that undertakes these cases runs and does not arrive. The situation is out of control, since the Pournara Hospitality Center can accommodate up to 800 people but they are stacked like sardines for more than 2000 people.

100 people have already been transferred to this area. The same source told us it is The problem with traffickers is particularly serious, given that in 2021 the Police arrested 45 traffickers. The penalty for traffickers is imprisonment for up to 7 years.

That is, Immigrants whose asylum application is rejected enter the plane accompanied by police officers.

Because, most refuse to leave the government gives them financial incentives. That is, immigrants from sub-Saharan regions secure an amount of 1500 euros, immigrants from Asian countries receive 1000 euros and immigrants from European countries e.g. Georgia get 500 euros.
