CRIME ROUND UP

 Pafos Live 31 March 2026

The Police arrested a 20-year-old person today, as part of an investigation into a case of traffic offenses.

Around 6 p.m. yesterday afternoon, information was received about two persons who were moving suspiciously with a vehicle in the area of Paphos. Members of the Police went to the area, where they were approached by a vehicle without registration plates, in which two people were riding.

The members of the Police signalled to the driver of the vehicle to stop for a check, however he developed speed and continued to drive recklessly and dangerously. A chase of the vehicle in question followed, during which warning shots were fired.

CIReN probe traces offshore network, arrest in the occupied north of Cyprus and a jurisdictional gap experts say benefits fugitives.

A new investigation by the Cyprus Investigative Reporting Network (CIReN) reveals that companies based in Cyprus were linked to a €25.8 million fraud case involving Russia’s construction sector.

The case centers on Alexander Delis, co-owner of the real estate development company Kvartstroy Holdings and co-owner of roughly a dozen Cyprus-registered companies. At least eight of those firms operated for more than a decade as part of a network connected to the group’s offshore corporate and financial structure.

IRAN - OPTIONS

 

IRAN - OPTIONS - Cy Mail 31/3 by Gwynne Dyer

The Iranians know they have won, but President Trump doesn’t get it yet. He’s still at the stage of counting up the US and Israeli air-strikes and assuming that those numbers mean a US victory is possible. But five gets you ten that the Iranians are already thinking about nuclear weapons. Not their own, which don’t exist. America’s.

The current spate of American troop movements will last a little longer, as the 11th and 31st Marine Expeditionary Units and some 82^nd Airborne troops (total 11-12,000 people) arrive in the region and the planners wait for Trump to decide which way to jump. He may even wait for the other 10,000 soldiers his people are now talking about to arrive.
