For the rental of the apartment, the 38-year-old co-signed a contract with the woman in question, in which the suspect recorded her details.
A check made by the 38-year-old, who then contacted the company that owns the apartment building where the apartment in question is located, told him that the suspicious woman had nothing to do with that company.
The 38-year-old rearranged and met at noon on Thursday with the suspect, in an area of Limassol, where members of the ICF of Limassol went.
