Fourth arrest in Operation "AEGIS" – suspects for conspiracy to commit murder before judge
Authorities have made a fourth arrest as part of Operation "AEGIS" against organised crime, according to Politis. The newly arrested man is 32 years old and has been held in custody as part of ongoing investigations.
A total of four suspects – aged 32, 36, 48 and 70 – are expected to appear today before Nicosia District Court. Police will seek the issue of detention warrants for the purposes of the investigation.
The operation was carried out on 10 November by the Directorate for Combating Organised Crime (DCOC), following an evaluation of information and operational data. The four defendants are being investigated for a series of serious offences: conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit a felony, unlawful possession and transport of explosive materials, participation in a criminal organisation, and money laundering from illegal activities. The charges also include offences relating to entry into the Republic from a prohibited port and remaining as a prohibited migrant.
Politis recalls that the arrested individuals are persons who have previously engaged police attention for particularly serious cases. Simultaneously, two further persons are still being sought in connection with the same matter.
Investigations by the DCOC are continuing.
