The five Greek Cypriots aged 42, 22, 31, 29 and 29, who were arrested last Thursday as part of a major operation by ADE Larnaca for organized crime, were placed in eight-day detention. The Larnaca District Court had reserved its decision for today regarding the Police's request for the issuance of detention orders, since during Friday's process some of the suspects, through their lawyers, objected to their detention.
Announcing its decision, the court said that there is a reasonable suspicion of committing the offenses and a reasonable suspicion of the involvement of the five suspects in the case. The suspects face the serious offenses of participation in a criminal organization, participation and acceptance of the commission of crimes, conspiracy to commit a felony, demand of property with threats for the purpose of theft, extortion, as well as money laundering.

At a time when organised crime appears to be gaining momentum, particularly in Larnaca and Limassol, the Ministry of Justice and Public Order is moving ahead with the creation of a new elite special unit, a task-force style strike team that will report directly to the Minister of Justice.
According to information obtained by Kathimerini Cyprus (K), the unit will be a flexible and operationally autonomous force comprising approximately 60 elite police officers, with a clear mandate: the decisive enforcement of law and order against organised crime, regardless of its origin, structure or mode of operation. The unit will have nationwide authority across all areas of Cyprus under the control of the Republic.

European Union countries on Monday gave their final approval to ban Russian gas imports by late 2027, making their vow to cut ties with their former top supplier legally binding, nearly four years after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Ministers from EU countries approved the law at a meeting in Brussels on Monday, although Slovakia and Hungary voted against and Bulgaria abstained.
Hungary said it would challenge the law at the European Court of Justice.

The Human Rights Committee seeks to secure the right of people with disabilities to have an assistance dog and to have access to all public and private spaces as well as to means of transport, through law proposals submitted separately by MPs Christos Senekis and Charalambos Theopemptou.
This legislative gap seems to have tripped, at least for people with visual impairments in Cyprus, as out of the approximately 2,000 blind people living in our country, only five or fewer people have such a dog. Any obstruction of the disabled from entering any area with an assistance dog, provides, according to the proposal that Mr. Theopemptou is expected to submit, a fine of €4,000 for the offender and/or €8,000 in case of repetition.
