21-Year-Old Arrested in Cyprus for Drugs and Arson

A 21-year-old man has been arrested in Cyprus after being transferred from Greece, where he was initially arrested under a European arrest warrant. The arrest is to facilitate investigations into drug-related offenses committed in February 2025 and arson incidents that occurred in July 2025 in Nicosia. The man is now the sixth person to be arrested in connection with the two cases, which are being investigated by the YKAN and the Nicosia TAE. A European arrest warrant had been issued for the 21-year-old, which was executed in Greece before his transfer to Cyprus. Investigations are ongoing to fully clarify the cases.
