CRIME ROUND UP

Filenews 9/11




With the investigative work still in progress, the investigators of the TAE Limassol took the 43-year-old Syrian today (9/11) before the Limassol District Court, requesting the renewal of his detention for another 8 days. The Court granted the request, while the suspect did not object. It should be noted that, as of the previous proceedings, he is not represented by a lawyer.

As is known, the 43-year-old confessed to the murder of 61-year-old Olga Vasilyeva. The woman was murdered at her residence on October 21, while, according to what he stated in his written confession, the next day he carried her body and threw it into a sewer pit, located in a field in the area of Saittas.

FOUR NEW CROSSINGS ON THE TABLE AS UN PUSHES FOR PROGRESS IN CYPRUS TALKS





FOUR NEW CROSSINGS ON THE TABLE AS UN PUSHES FOR PROGRESS IN CYPRUS TALKS - KNews 9/11

Maria Angela Holguin is seeking a deal on Green Line crossings and mine clearance that could help bring the two sides back to formal negotiations.


Four new routes across the Green Line and a plan to clear mines near Deryneia are the immediate test for Cyprus’ leaders Monday as the United Nations tries to build momentum for a return to formal peace talks.

U.N. envoy María Angela Holguín is seeking answers from President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman at their meeting in the Nicosia buffer zone. Ahead of the talks, she told Turkey’s ANKA news agency that she would report a lack of progress to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres if the two sides failed to move forward. A deal, she said, could keep the effort going into next year, beyond the end of his term.

BRITISH COUPLE FACE LOSING LIMASSOL HOME OVER SWISS-FRANC MORTGAGE




BRITISH COUPLE FACE LOSING LIMASSOL HOME OVER SWISS-FRANC MORTGAGE - Cy Mail 8/11 by Elias Hazou


The retired homeowners say a loan originally worth about €187,000 has become a claimed debt of €400,000

Still haunted by their decision some 20 years ago to take out a mortgage denominated in Swiss francs, a distressed couple from Britain are on the verge of losing their Limassol home to lenders, their residence slated for auction by the end of the year. They were among thousands of Britons lured by the Cyprus property dream, only to get stung by the loan scheme during the 2000s.

The couple, who did not wish to be identified, reached out to the Cyprus Mail, hoping to generate publicity as they say that the credit-acquiring company, which now owns their mortgage, refuses to budge despite being made a reasonable offer to settle the outstanding debt.
