Cyprus Crime

Crime in Cyprus is more about corruption than violence. It qualifies as the national sport. Anyone from Spain might get a feeling of Déjà vu all over again. They know too much about Spanish Practices but see:-

Six Going To Trial Facing 154 Charges [ 29 December 2014 ]
QUOTE
SIX people, including former Paphos Mayor Savvas Vergas will go to trial on January 8 facing a total 154 charges, including conspiracy to commit a felony, conspiracy to defraud, bribing a state official, extortion, abusing authority, corruption and acquiring property by illegal means in the Sewerage Board scandal.
Vergas, Paphos Sewerage Board (SAPA) chief Eftychios Malekkides, and former municipal councillors from DISY, AKEL and DIKO – Giorgos Michaelides, Vasos Vasileiou and Efstathios Efstathiou respectively, were each released on €200,000 bail. They were also required to hand over their travel documents and must sign in every day at their local police station.

The court also referred for trial current AKEL municipal councillor Giorgos Siailis, who was implicated in the case by Malekkides. Siailis – who is facing lesser charges, was bailed for €50,000. All of the suspects allegedly took part in a corruption ring centered around the sewerage construction project. According to police reports, contractors interested in the project were routinely asked for kickbacks so they could secure contracts, while the SAPA officials kept adding to the cost of the project so that the contractors could get more work. The project, which was originally budgeted at around €80 million, ended up costing around a €120 million.............

The SAPA scandal is not the only weight on Savvas Vergas’ shoulders. The former mayor will soon have to appear before court on a number of other cases. He is also suspected of a shady land deal with land development company Aristo Developers where he allegedly gave permission so the company could illegally take green space and use it for building, sending threats via text message to a municipal councillor, a reporter and a municipality employee, building a tennis court adjacent to his home on public property without permission and green-lighting a tax exemption for a concert organiser who had promised to give all proceedings to charity but failed to do so.

Kalopsidiotis along with five other people, including officer Elias Hadjiefthimiou, 46, his wife Skevi, 39, and their two children were having dinner when two or three gunmen stormed the restaurant at around 10pm and opened fire with pistols and automatic weapons. Three of Kalopsidiotis’ bodyguards were eating at an adjacent table.............

Two other people were injured during the shooting. One of them, also a police officer —  MMAD (rapid reaction force) member Giorgos Charalambous — sitting with Kalopsidiotis, was in critical condition in hospital. Police said both officers were off duty at the time. They were carrying their service weapons however.........

Cyprus Captures Three After Gangland Murder  [ 24 June 2017 ]
QUOTE
THREE men were remanded in custody for eight days on Friday on suspicion of taking part in a plot to kill an underworld figure last year. Police told the court they have also issued arrest warrants for five more people – four foreign nationals and a Cypriot – in connection with the case.

The three remanded suspects are a 30-year-old Turkish Cypriot, a 35-year-old Greek Cypriot and a 47-year-old Serb who is currently a convict at the central prisons, serving out a sentence for a drugs-related offence.

They are suspected of having played a part in arranging or mediating for the arrival of two Serb hit men, whose target is believed to have been Alexis Mavromichalis, aka ‘Alexoui’.

Chief inspector Marcos Nikolettis told the court that on March 22, 2016, the force had received an urgent message from Belgrade Interpol notifying them of an impending contract killing.

The Serbian authorities had been investigating a crime ring when they found out that a number of its members were in Cyprus plotting a murder.

The court heard that one of the wanted men had contacted an unknown individual in Nicosia’s central prison, who eventually hired him to carry out the contract for €100,000.

The pair had agreed that the man would hire the hit men.

Police said initial investigations showed that the possible target was Alexis Mavromichalis from Nicosia. It also emerged that the contact was Marios Christodoulou, aka Benny, currently doing life in jail for the killing of Phanos Kalopsidiotis and conspiracy to murder Mavromichalis.............

Kalopsidiotis, according to Mavromichalis, considered the pair responsible for his father’s murder in 2014 and a gangland hit in the summer of 2012 that saw five people killed.

Benny worked for Rodotheou and had been arrested in February 2015 in connection with a rocket attack in Nicosia that was meant to take out Mavromichalis but killed his 28-year-old bodyguard instead. The attack followed an incident at the Apoel fan club in which Benny was beaten by Mavromichalis and his men.

Ayia Napa Massacre Suspects Get Life Sentences [ 11 September  2017 ]
QUOTE
Two men were jailed for life on Friday after being found guilty of the quadruple gangland killing in the popular holiday resort of Ayia Napa [ in Cyprus ] last year.

Panayiotis Pentafkas, 30, and Serbian national Dejan Loy, 42, were found guilty of premeditated murder, a charge that carries a mandatory life sentence. They were handed four life sentences. The pair faced charges in relation with the murders of businessman and suspected underworld figure Phanos Kalopsidiotis and police officer Elias Hadjiefthymiou, 46, and his wife Skevi, 39.

The three were gunned down while having dinner at the Stone Garden restaurant on the evening of June 23. One of the shooters, Albanian Yiani Vogli, was also killed...........

Loy, who worked as Kalopsidiotis’ bodyguard, was accused of collaborating with the shooters by confirming that the victim was at the restaurant shortly before they burst in, guns blazing. He was in the toilet during the shooting. Four other people implicated in the shooting had been sentenced earlier this year and last year after they admitted guilt.

They wanted the "businessman". They got him four years to the day after the last try. Why was Kalopsidiotis talking to the police? Why were they armed off duty? We will probably never know.

Cyprus Drug Dealer Murdered - Four Prisoners Taken [ 16 November 2018 ]
QUOTE
Famagusta district court on Thursday remanded in custody for eight days the four suspects arrested in connection with the November 1 murder of Gary Boris Christodoulou, found dead with two bullets to his head near the motorway just outside Ayia Napa.............

The four men, aged 27, 36, 44 and 35 have denied any connection to the murder. Famagusta police are investigating a case of conspiracy to murder and the premeditated murder of 33-year-old Christodoulou..........     The post mortem revealed that the victim received four gunshots, two to the head and two to his torso. He was known to police in relation with past drugs cases. The victim was also known to be on friendly terms with Panicos Pentafkas, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with the June 2016 gangland shooting at an Ayia Napa restaurant where four people died.............

Police secured testimony according to which this suspect had earlier warned Christodoulou to stop advertising an Ayia Napa nightclub controlled by the Pentafkas family, threatening to kill Christodoulou unless he complied.

According to the same information, on May 15 of this year Christodoulou received a phone call from a number registered to a relative of deceased businessman Theofanis Theofanous, who is believed to have been the target of the June 2016 rubout. [ Witness In Cyprus Gang Murders Offered A Bribe ]

Supreme Court upholds life sentences over Napa gangland shootings  [
QUOTE
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a 2017 decision by the Famagusta criminal court which found two defendants guilty in relation to a quadruple murder committed in Ayia Napa in June 2016.

The case in question was the gangland killing of Ayia Napa businessman [ & racketeer? - Editor]  Phanos Kalopsidiotis, which took place at the Stone Garden restaurant in Ayia Napa.

Police officer Elias Hadjiefthimiou and his wife Skevi, were also killed in the shooting.

Kalopsidiotis had been having dinner with the couple and their two young children, as well as riot squad Mmad member Yiorgos Charalambous.

Albanian Yani Vogli, one of the shooters, was also killed. A second Albanian, Aleks Burrelli managed to escape and has never been seen or heard of since.

In a decision dated September 8, 2017, the criminal court had sentenced each of the accused to a life sentence for each of the four victims.

An announcement from the legal service said that the Supreme Court also upheld the convictions and sentences imposed by the criminal court in connection with the attempted murder against two other persons, as well as the charges of conspiracy..................

In June 2020, Kalopsidiotis’ bodyguard Panayiotis Kallitsionis, who was present during the murder, was also gunned down.

State Land Management Is Deeply Corrupt [ 21 December 2016 ]
Evidence pointing to rampant corruption at the land consolidation department, including blatant conflicts of interest, unlawful transfers of state land to individuals, and decisions by department officials beneficial to relatives or friends, were reported in auditor-general Odysseas Michaelides’ 2015 annual report.

The department’s mission is to strengthen land-use efficiency by aggregating and redistributing privately-owned swathes in designated areas with a view to minimising fragmentation – a key disadvantage in the efficiency of agricultural land.

However, the audit service’s investigations throughout 2015 revealed a number of issues in staff inefficiency, project completion times, and the lack of assessment of completed projects.

Moreover, the report said the Pyrgos project was found to have actually increased fragmentation, instead of reducing it.

“The major goals of the project, for which substantial amounts of money were spent, were not met,” Michaelides said.

“On the contrary, it appears that the actions taken created the right to build a residence for the owners.”

He added that the total area used as farmland after completion of the project – the increase in which was ostensibly one of the key goals – was actually reduced by 87 hectares, relative to that used prior to the redistribution.

Additionally, it was found that large plots owned by one individual were broken down and redistributed in 4,000 square-metre chunks, which is the minimum plot size that allows the construction of a house in land designated as agricultural.

Michaelides said government-owned land was sold to individuals that did not own land within the bounds of the redistribution project, on grounds that they were farmers, at prices much lower than the going rate at the time.

Others, he added, owned land in the designated area and sold it, only to then be sold state-owned plots as farmers.

Digging deeper, the audit service found that some of the people who were sold plots in the Pyrgos redistribution project were connected to redistribution department employees, in a way that “may constitute abuse of power and/or money laundering and/or unjust enrichment”.

“The case on the Pyrgos project is already under criminal investigation by the police,” Michaelides told state radio on Wednesday.

“Relatives or friends of the department’s officials appear to have bought plots in the area earmarked for redistribution shortly before the project was announced, in order to benefit illegally.”

Various explanations put forth by the department’s acting head were “under no circumstances” adopted by the audit service, the report said.

“In essence, they were characterised by a cover-up attitude,” it said. “As a result, our service will investigate the issues that have come up by itself.” In a statement of response, the interior ministry said it has addressed all the issues raised in the report “several times”.

“Therefore, we have no intention of engaging the media and public opinion again, repeating the same responses to the same observations, simply for the sake of maintaining confrontation,” the ministry said.

 

 


 

Nicosia Sewage & Bribery [ 26 January 2017 ]
QUOTE
An ongoing criminal investigation has uncovered strong clues of widespread bribery at the Sewerage Board of Nicosia (SAL), it emerged on Wednesday. The police are said to be wrapping up their probe, and will be forwarding their findings to the attorney-general, who will decide whether to initiate criminal proceedings.

So far, investigators have found evidence implicating at least four individuals, suspected of taking kickbacks from contractors for projects awarded by the sewerage board.

Daily Politis reported that three persons, formerly with SAL, are in the police’s crosshairs: two former members of the board, and a former employee.

Drunk Driver Beats Manslaughter Rap By Corruption [ 24 January 2017 ]
QUOTE
A 29-year-old woman who had been on the top of the island’s most wanted list for years, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to two charges relating to the road death of a 17-year-old boy in Limassol in 2007. Efi Herodotou denied causing Emilios Ioannou’s death through reckless driving and failure to stop at a red light...........

Her parents face charges including fabrication of evidence, forgery, perjury, and bribery. They also denied the charges during the hearing held in the Nicosia district court..............

Herodotou had been acquitted in the first trial in 2009, but state prosecutors preparing for an appeal discovered that evidence submitted in her trial had been forged and tampered with, and at least one defence witness had perjured himself.

During the trial, an eyewitness testified that Herodotou had caused the crash by running a red light, and then fled the scene.

The eyewitness reported chasing after her into a dead-end road, at which point Herodotou asked her to lie to police that the light had been green when she crossed the intersection.........

 Once a retrial was ordered by the Supreme Court in 2011, police probes into allegedly falsified evidence submitted in court led to the arrests of the 34-year-old state prosecutor who tried the case and two lawyers who had defended Herodotou. The prosecutor later resigned.

False evidence included witness testimony contradicting the timeline reported by the eyewitness who had chased Herodotou after the accident, which was challenged after prosecutors discovered that the time stamps on the electronic attendance register at the eyewitness’ place of work had been tampered with.

Another witness, who had identified himself in court as the man who had installed the system and knew how it worked turned out to have been an employee of herodotou’s father and had neither installed the system nor had any knowledge of how it worked.

Lastly, the police report prepared by one of the investigators also appeared to have been forged.

Suspicion immediately fell on Herodotou’s parents, who appeared to have been implicated in orchestrating the forgeries by those questioned over the discrepancies, but, like their daughter, they too had vanished.

A British man has appeared in court in Cyprus accused of running down and killing a Swedish mother whilst driving a beach buggy in the holiday party town of Ayia Napa.

Manraj Singh Sidhu, 25, appeared in court in Cyprus this afternoon handcuffed and with his arm in a sling where it was said he was high on drugs when he hit the woman.

He was held after police tracked him down after an appeal for the driver who allegedly killed Camilla Christina Pamdahl in the hit and run before fleeing on foot.

Mrs Pamdahl, 46, suffered multiple injuries after being hit on a pedestrian crossing as Sidhu allegedly overtook a car in the resort of Ayia Napa.

Sidhu, who is from Shefford, Hertfordshire, was held on remand in jail close to the city until his appearance at Famagusta district court today in front of judge Nayia Oikonomou.............

Sidhu.......... was also accused of having no insurance, dangerous driving endangering the public, leaving the scene of an accident, failing to ensure the damaged buggy was identifiable to other road users, fleeing the scene and not informing police........
