Attempted Murder of Ukrainian Linked to Criminal Organization

October 8, 2025

The attempted murder case of a 42-year-old Ukrainian is linked to the criminal organization 'Vor V Zakone'. The suspects were extorting a business partner of the victim, demanding 500,000 euros for 'protection'. European and international arrest warrants have been issued for the 44-year-old Russian, who is considered very dangerous and is wanted. Threats to the victim's partner began months before the attempt on his life. The events also include a prior brawl at a nightclub in Limassol.
