January 24, 2026

The police are investigating a criminal organization in Larnaca involved in drugs and money laundering. Investigations reveal that they provide 'protection' to nightclubs, operating under a veil of violence and fear. This information comes from videos found on the phone of a detainee, a National Guard conscript. Five people were arrested as members of the organization, with a 42-year-old alleged to be the leader. The investigation confirmed that two organized crime groups are in conflict over control of the area.
