Yesterday, the police arrested a 60-year-old person as part of their investigation into an online fraud case that occurred in Limassol in 2019.
The individual, who was apprehended in Spain based on a European Arrest Warrant, was extradited to Cyprus and taken into custody to assist with further questioning.
According to a complaint made by a legal advisor of a company in Limassol, back in May 2019, the company had bought products from a Spanish supplier. During their email communications, they agreed to transfer €93,187 to a specific bank account. However, in a later email exchange, they discovered that the payment was never received by the supplier. It turned out to be a fraud as the email had been hacked.
The Limassol Cybercrime Unit continues its investigations.
