Police arrested a 49-year-old woman on Sunday on charges of obtaining property under false pretenses and money laundering.
According to a complaint filed with the Paphos Criminal Investigation Department on July 11, 2025, the suspect, a resident of Nicosia, allegedly presented herself to a 75-year-old man as a former bank employee between May 2023 and October 2024.
The suspect claimed she had connections that could help the victim acquire real estate and land at bargain prices. The man reported that he paid the woman a total of 720,000 euros but discovered no ownership titles had been secured in his name.
The Paphos CID is continuing its investigation.
