Increase in Drug Quantities in Cyprus in 2025
June 7, 2025
The quantities of drugs seized in Cyprus in the first five months of 2025 are unusually high, corresponding to two-thirds of the amounts seized in 2024. Traffickers are adapting their methods and are now using three main gateways for smuggling drugs. The Anti-Drug Unit (YKAN) is making systematic efforts to locate and seize drugs, but the number of users continues to rise. The risks posed by drug trafficking remain a serious concern for society.
