Limassol Police continue their search for 56-year-old Russian businessman Vladislav Baumgertner, who has been missing since January 7th. The search, temporarily suspended due to bad weather, resumed this morning. Electronic devices have been collected from the businessman's home for analysis, and authorities are evaluating various pieces of information regarding his disappearance. The businessman is described as approximately 1.90m tall, of slender build, with grey hair, and was wearing black shorts and a black t-shirt when he went missing.

Initial reports indicate that police were not granted access to the embassy building and the body was handed over outside. Russian authorities claim the death was a suicide. However, the case remains under investigation, and an autopsy is expected to be performed to determine the exact cause of death. Police are appealing to the public for any information that may assist in locating Vladislav Baumgertner, urging them to contact the Limassol TAE or the nearest Police Station.
