Two-Year Prison Sentence for 27-Year-Old for Online Fraud

A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to two years in prison by the Larnaca District Court for online fraud. The case involved the misappropriation of €10,000 from a company in Larnaca, intended for the purchase of building materials from a company in Limassol. The perpetrators bypassed communication between the two companies through a fraudulent email and sent the money to their own bank account. The case was investigated by the Larnaca TAE, which collected evidence and obtained an arrest warrant for the 27-year-old. The man was arrested in July 2025 and found guilty of obtaining goods under false pretenses and money laundering. The court imposed concurrent prison sentences totaling 36 months.
