Pasiourtidis to Fytiris: “The Police Have Everything” to Combat Crime

Published January 19, 2026, 15:31

MP Andreas Pasiourtidis (AKEL) responded to Justice Minister Konstantinos Fytiris regarding the need to strengthen the Police to combat crime. Mr. Pasiourtidis emphasized that the Police already have the necessary tools, but the problem lies in the lack of trust from citizens and the police officers themselves. The recent armed clash near the Larnaca Police Headquarters suggests that control is not in the hands of the authorities. The MP questioned why, despite the mapping of organized crime, arrests and dismantling of criminal organizations are not progressing.
