Larnaca: Extension of Detention Order Sought in Torture Case

The Larnaca police are seeking an extension of the detention order for two individuals arrested in connection with a torture case. The case involves a 27-year-old Palestinian and a 48-year-old Cypriot, who is also linked to previous incidents of violence in the city. The 48-year-old has a serious criminal record and refuses to cooperate with authorities, despite the existence of videos linking him to the torture scenes. Police have identified four of the seven victims and are investigating allegations that the victims were tortured to pay money or confess to involvement in criminal activities. A criminal case is expected to be filed in court against both individuals.
