Arson Spree in Limassol: Two Suspects Linked to Criminal Organization

Two men, aged 28 and 33, are in custody in Limassol following a court order, as they are investigated for arsons that took place between November 2025 and January 2026. According to police, the two men are members of a criminal organization that extorted businesses with “protection” money, causing arson to those who refused to comply. The arsons involved luxury vehicles, car washes, wine cellars, and shop windows. During the hearing, the arrest of a third person at Larnaca Airport was revealed, who is allegedly involved in the same criminal organization. The defense questioned the timely issuance of the arrest warrant for the 28-year-old, while the police argued that the cases are connected and require further investigation. The court decided to keep the two men in custody until Sunday to continue the investigations.
