Police in Limassol are investigating a violent attack on a 22-year-old Turkish Cypriot man who was allegedly abducted, beaten, and had his heels cut off by a group, requiring surgery. The victim was reportedly left for dead, and authorities are actively pursuing the case.
In other key developments, President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman are set to meet on Tuesday for continued discussions. This comes as the Turkish Cypriot press has offered varying perspectives on their previous joint appearance in Pyla.
Separately, the Tax Department has filed criminal charges against two Cypriot directors for alleged VAT evasion totaling €25 million, connected to a scheme involving luxury yachts reportedly linked to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. Also, an infant is in critical condition after being diagnosed with Legionella, with authorities focusing on water concentration levels at two sites where the bacteria was detected.
