The origin of a large sum of money, discovered yesterday in a residence in Nicosia, is being investigated by the Police. To facilitate the interrogation, a 33-year-old woman was arrested for the immediate offence of illegal possession of property, and she is also being investigated for the offence of money laundering from illegal activities.
Specifically, during an investigation carried out yesterday by the Drug Law Enforcement Unit (YKAN) at the woman’s residence, a safe was found in her bathroom, carefully concealed. Inside the safe, the sum of €126,360 was discovered and confiscated, for which the woman provided no sufficient explanation as to its origin.
As a result, the 33-year-old was arrested for an immediate offence. She was taken to the offices of the Nicosia Provincial Police Headquarters, where she was interrogated in writing and subsequently released to be summoned later.
The Nicosia regional unit of YKAN is investigating the case.
