Following further investigations, members of the Border Guard Headquarters identified an individual allegedly involved in the case of illegal migrant smuggling. At the same time, it was determined that the individual in question was residing illegally in the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, resulting in his arrest for a flagrant offense.

The suspect was re-arrested today, around 10:00 a.m., pursuant to a court warrant to facilitate the investigation, and was subsequently brought before the Nicosia District Court, which issued an eight-day detention order against him. The eight individuals were transported to the “Pournara” Detention Center.

The Nicosia CID is continuing its investigation.
