The Limassol Police have arrested a 66-year-old man following a complaint of fraud amounting to €32,000. A couple had agreed to purchase a plot of agricultural land and paid the full amount, but the 66-year-old did not proceed with the transfer of ownership as he was only a tenant, not the legal owner. The case involves false representations to obtain money, and the investigation is ongoing. The suspect has been remanded in custody for five days for further investigation. Police are investigating the precise details and the whereabouts of the funds paid.
