66-Year-Old Arrested for Allegedly Defrauding a Couple of €32,000 over Land Sale

The Limassol Police are investigating a case of obtaining €32,000 from a couple under false pretenses regarding the alleged sale of a plot of agricultural land. A 66-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the offense. According to the complaint, the couple had agreed with the 66-year-old in 2020 to purchase the plot and had paid the agreed amount. However, the 66-year-old did not proceed with the transfer of ownership, as he was not the owner of the plot, but merely a tenant. The 66-year-old was arrested last night and brought before the Limassol District Court today, which issued a five-day detention order for further investigation.
