The new Organized Crime Fighting Service will be named DAOEE and is set to be established next month. It will merge existing agencies and recruit specialized personnel to address organized crime in Cyprus. Its goal is to monitor financial flows and combat money laundering. There have already been investigations into serious cases, resulting in the first arrests and seizures of money. The new service is expected to be operational soon, enhancing crime-fighting efforts on the island.
