The dimensions of the terrorism case that concerns the authorities of Cyprus and Greece and involves Palestinian members of Hamas preparing strikes against Israeli interests are unpredictable.
One of the arrested on May 30 - 57 and 53 years old, respectively - has a son who serves in the Cyprus Police and in fact in a department related to immigration issues.
Filenews' information has been cross-checked, and there is no doubt about its accuracy. In fact, a source tells us that this parameter of the case in relation to the family relationship of the suspect and a member of the Force has been investigated.
In particular, the necessary police examinations have been carried out, without any testimony or evidence of any involvement of the member of the Police in the case for the time being.
However, the fact that you are arrested of Palestinian origin has a son who serves in the police force should not cause a sensation. According to a report by Filenews, the two persons arrested on May 30 have been on our island since the mid-80s and have Cypriot citizenship.
We remind you that the tangle of the case unravelled in the last ten days of last month. In two premises in Akti Governor and Kamares, Larnaca, chemical substances were found, which are used to manufacture high-power explosives.
Initially, two people aged 32 and 38 from Palestine were arrested before the Police handcuffed the other two persons, 57 and 53 years old.
Last Saturday, in an operation by the Greek Police and the National Intelligence Service, a 37-year-old man was arrested in Crete, on suspicion of participating in the same group as the four arrested in Larnaca.
He had settled in Greece a year ago and had applied for asylum. He previously resided in Gaza. He has a house in Patisia and had recently settled in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. He worked for the season in a hotel unit.
The Greek authorities had information that the 37-year-old may have carried out a terrorist attack on an Israeli cruise ship, which is about to sail to Agios Nikolaos.
