CRIME ROUND UP

 Pafos Live 28 May 2026

The police investigations into the bomb explosion that occurred at dawn, outside a butcher's shop, in the area of the CUT school in Paphos, have not resulted in a specific direction, so far. The owners of the store have reported that they did not have significant differences with some, with investigators looking for the edge of the case.

The explosion was so powerful that it was noticed not only by neighbours but also by residents in other areas of Paphos. From the examinations of the pyrotechnicians, it was found that it was due to the placement of an improvised explosive device near the façade of the butcher shop containing a low-power explosive.

Of the 56 new MPs who achieved entry into the new Parliament, 34 will retire at the age of 60 and 22 at the age of 65. And this, due to the implementation from August 21, 2025 of the new legal framework for the abolition of multiple pensions.

The phenomenon of the different age limit for the retirement of MPs is due to the restrictions imposed by the Constitution. During the 18-month debate that took place in the previous Parliament, obstacles were identified and various provisions of the legislation were identified, including the abolition of multiple pensions, the simultaneous payment of pension and salary and the increase of the retirement age of state officials from the 60th to the 65th year, could not affect those who had served as state officials before the change in the law.
