Police in Paphos are seeking a 63-year-old individual to facilitate investigations into an alleged case of obtaining money under false pretenses.
According to Assistant Chief of Police Operations in Paphos, Michalis Nicolaou, two individuals aged 67 and 70 filed a complaint that between December 2022 and December 2023, the 63-year-old obtained money from them through false representations.
Specifically, it is alleged that the 63-year-old extracted €6,500 from the 67-year-old as an advance payment for the supposed purchase of an apartment from better-priced auctions.
From the 70-year-old, it is claimed that he obtained €5,000 with the promise that he had access to the Licensing Authority and could secure a taxi license for him.
In both cases, under various pretexts, the suspect is said to have convinced the complainants that he would handle the aforementioned tasks, but he has since disappeared and is accused of misusing the money given to him.
Investigations into the case are ongoing in an effort to locate the suspect.
