Drugs charges

A 39-year-old man was remanded in custody for six days yesterday by the Limassol district court in connection with investigations into drugs charges.
According to police, armed with a search warrant, members of the Drugs Squad (YKAN) searched the Limassol flat of the 39-year-old man from Iran on Friday. They allegedly found traces of a brown substance believed to be one gram of opium, half a gram of white powder believed to be methamphetamine and electronic scales with traces of white powder on it. Cash totalling €3,230 was also found in the flat.
Following his arrest, police discovered that the man had been deported from Cyprus in July 2010.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
