Yesterday morning, the police arrested a 23-year-old man, to facilitate the investigation into an ongoing case of computer-related fraud and the misappropriation of funds through false representations.
The investigation into the case began following a complaint filed with the police last February by a 64-year-old Limassol resident. According to the complainant, on February 1, 2026, she received a message on her cell phone that appeared to come from a private courier company. The complainant clicked on the link in the message and, while attempting to pay the €3.46 fee, she discovered that unknown individuals had stolen €34,600 from her account.
