As part of the investigation of a case of internet fraud and extortion of a sum of money, a 41-year-old man, holder of a European identity card, was arrested in a European country, under a European arrest warrant.
The arrest of the 41-year-old came after collecting and evaluating evidence, following a complaint by a 71-year-old resident of the province of Famagusta, which was made in December 2021.

The European Union “must deliver” on the issue of enlargement, President Nikos Christodoulides said on Thursday.
“Enlargement falls within the European Union’s political range and we must do much more. We must succeed,” he said upon his arrival at the day’s European Council summit in Brussels.
His comments come with Cyprus set to take over the Council of the EU’s rotating presidency at the beginning of the month, with a draft programme for Cyprus’ six-month term as the title’s holder seen by the Cyprus Mail focusing on the matter of enlargement.

Five of Cyprus’ six members of the European parliament on Wednesday night voted to approve a motion empowering the parliament to enter negotiations with the European Council for the creation of a common European Union list of safe countries of origin to which asylum seekers can be returned.
Should the motion become EU policy, countries such as Bangladesh, Colombia, Egypt, Kosovo, India, Morocco and Tunisia, as well as EU candidate countries such as Turkey, will be declared safe across the bloc, with it following that applicants from those countries would be denied political asylum in any EU member state where they may apply.
