Attorney General suspends prosecution over cocaine trafficking case in Limassol
The Attorney General has suspended the prosecution of a man accused of orchestrating the pickup and storage of eight kilograms of cocaine, as revealed during a hearing at the Limassol Criminal Court. This decision follows a request made by the prosecution based on new evidence, which the court accepted.
The case involves a 46-year-old previously sentenced to ten years for cocaine possession with intent to supply. Although the convicted individual initially agreed to testify against the accused, he ultimately did not follow through. The accused was arrested in April and held on remand at Central Prisons while the case proceeded.
Law enforcement’s Anti-Drugs Unit detained the 46-year-old after tracking his activities on August 12, 2025, including surveillance at his home, a car repair garage, and a parked vehicle where the drugs were stored. Officers stopped him after he was seen removing a suspicious black plastic bag from the vehicle.
