Handcuffs for two Russians for fraud in Nicosia. This is how they acquired electronic devices

Two Russians, aged 23 and 24, were arrested in Nicosia for fraud. According to information, the two young men hacked customer accounts of an electronics company and, using their details, purchased products by paying only the first installment. They then disappeared, leaving unsuspecting customers to bear the remaining installments. In two cases, they acquired products worth 580 and 400 euros by paying only one installment. The suspects were brought before a court to request their detention, while the investigation continues by the Nicosia TAE.
