For the fourth day in a row, the search for the 56-year-old Russian businessman continues in the area of Pissouri.

According to information from the Police, the investigations are in full swing and are being carried out with the assistance of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) of the Department of Technological Development. On the scene is the Limassol Police Director, together with the head of the TAE, who coordinate the search operations in the wider area. At the same time, the assistance of the British Bases has been requested, in the context of intensifying efforts to locate the 56-year-old Russian businessman.

It is recalled that the traces of Vladislav Baumgertner were lost on January 7 in Limassol. The investigations have focused on the area of Pissouri and in particular in Cape Aspro, where the missing person's mobile phone last emitted a signal.

The authorities clarify, however, that so far there are no indications of criminal activity, based on the evidence in their possession. Nevertheless, as the days go by without result, the hopes of finding the 56-year-old alive are also fading.
