At the District Court of Nicosia, there was discussion about a stand that operated in an inmate's cell, selling items to other inmates at black market prices. Three suspects, a prison guard, an inmate, and his wife, were arrested for conspiracy and corruption. The inmate revealed that he was forced to pay inflated prices, such as 12 euros for a pack of cigarettes that cost 4 euros in the prison shop. The court ordered their detention for eight days.
