Four held over Paphos brothel

FOUR men were remanded in custody for eight days yesterday, in connection with an alleged pimping case in Paphos.

The four are George Loizou, 52, from Nicosia, cabaret manager Ioannis Theodorou, 31, from Paphos, Costas Michael, 39, from Paphos, and George Kove, 51, from Greece — both waiters in cabarets.

According to police, a search at the Dias Court apartment complex in Paphos, which is owned by Loizou, uncovered a fully-fledged brothel, in which a number of foreign artistes were caught in the act with their “customers.”

Police claim the suspects made arrangements for customers to pay for sex with the women.
