A 42-year-old police officer was arrested yesterday on a court warrant in connection with an ongoing investigation into money laundering and membership of a criminal organisation.
The officer faces allegations of conspiracy to pervert and obstruct the course of justice, witness intimidation, obstruction of and interference with judicial proceedings, and making threats. The alleged offences occurred between May and June 2026 in the Limassol district.
A second police officer, aged 45, was arrested in the same investigation on May 14. He is being investigated for money laundering. A search of his home yielded various items of evidence, and a court order froze assets exceeding €220,000, including a luxury car.

A search of their home produced various items of evidence, and a court order froze assets exceeding €200,000, including four luxury cars.
Investigations are ongoing.
