Two persons aged 42 and 38 were arrested in the early hours of Sunday based on court warrants and were detained to facilitate investigations in connection with an ongoing case of conspiracy to commit a felony, offenses under the Law on Combating Certain Forms of Racism and Xenophobia, common assault and false information to a police officer.
Specifically, the above two persons went to the Limassol Central Police Station around 5 a.m. on Saturday and reported that, while they were in a Limassol bakery, after a conversation with an employee of the said bakery, according to their claim, the latter allegedly attacked them without injuring them. The above allegedly asked the members of the Police to make a recommendation to the said employee.
Around 10.30 of the same day, a 29-year-old man went to the Minor Offences Department of the Limassol Central Police Station and reported that in the early hours of the morning, while working in a bakery, he had been attacked by two persons who had hit him with their hands on various parts of his body, while according to his claim, he had received various racist comments from the persons in question. The 29-year-old visited the Limassol General Hospital where he was examined by the doctor on duty. It was found that he had no obvious external injuries. He was given first aid and discharged.
In the course of investigating the two complaints, the evidence against the above-arrested persons emerged.
The Limassol CID is continuing the investigations.
