CRIME ROUND UP

Pafos Live 30 August 2026




A sum of money close to €43,000 and drugs were found by members of the police in two houses they searched in Paphos in which foreigners live. The tenant of a third house who was also investigated attacked and injured two police officers.

Simultaneous searches of three houses and a premises in the province of Paphos were carried out late yesterday afternoon by members of the teams of the Anti-Narcotics Service and the Information Management and Analysis Service. For days, they had obtained information that the foreigners who lived in them were involved in the possession and trafficking of large quantities of drugs.

The first search was carried out in a luxury apartment in which a 35-year-old African man lives. €42.500 euros in cash, 345 British pounds, 40 Danish kroner, a quantity of cannabis with a gross weight of 89 grams, 1.133 ecstasy tablets and 90 capsules of anabolic substances were located and confiscated.

'White Mischief ', a 1987 British period crime drama directed by Michael Radford, based on the true story of the 1941 Happy Valley murder case in Kenya. 

"The aging Sir John (Joss Ackland) leaves war-torn England  for Kenya, with his beautiful young wife, Diana (Greta Scacchi). They join other ex-pat aristocrats in the incongruously named Happy Valley. Cocooned from the war in Europe, the denizens of the valley are completely at the mercy of the boredom generated by their privileged lifestyles. Sir John soon begins to realise that he has something more disturbing than German bombs and falling commodity prices to worry about, when Diana starts to show far too much interest in Josslyn Hay, the hedonistic Earl of Erroll (Charles Dance)".

IS CYPRUS BACKING AWAY FROM THE CABLE MEANT TO CUT ELECTRICITY BILLS








IS CYPRUS BACKING AWAY FROM THE CABLE MEANT TO CUT ELECTRICITY BILLS? - KNews 30/8 by Apostolos Tomares

French investment has failed to ease Nicosia’s concerns, with some officials now looking to Israeli gas instead.


The agreement making French company Meridiam the majority shareholder in the company behind the Cyprus-Crete electricity interconnector has done nothing to ease the Cypriot government’s reservations about the project.

Nicosia’s delayed response to the celebratory mood in Athens when the deal was signed suggests the Cypriot side may have been caught by surprise. This raises major questions about the level of communication between Nicosia and Athens, as well as between Nicosia and Paris.
