Renewed detention for alleged money launderers

Relevant News

Before the Limassol District Court, the two Russian suspects are once again being brought, who are alleged to be involved in a money laundering case.

The detention order for the two expires today, however, due to the fact that the necessary examinations and investigations have not been completed by the investigators of the Economic Crime Investigation Office of the Limassol CID, the suspects will be brought to court for a request for renewal of their detention.

Under scrutiny by investigators are the claims of the two Russians aged 41 and 34 respectively.

On the one hand, the 41-year-old co-owner of the gallery in Limassol insists that the money and income from his businesses are legal, while the 34-year-old employee and friend of his is said to have changed his stance and denies what he said in his initial deposition.

The investigators from the Limassol CID are searching for the source of €860,000 found in the possession of the two suspects, who are alleged to have transferred the money through a van to other individuals.

As reported by Phileleftheros, the main concern of the investigators is to identify the source of the cash to determine whether this money was acquired through illegal activities.

It should be noted that the 41-year-old suspect and co-owner of the gallery in Limassol has remained under detention since last Friday, being guarded in a private hospital in the city, as he seems to be facing various health problems.
