Woman arrested for stealing from charity

A 38-year-old woman from the Larnaca district was arrested on Monday on suspicion of stealing around €10,000 from the charity organisation she worked for.

The woman, according to the Cyprus News Agency, is working for the breast cancer charity, Europa Donna Cyprus.

She was reported to the police by the organisation after an audit revealed that €10,611 was missing. The money concerned donations to the organisation and proceeds from the sale of products between 2017 and 2018.

She has reportedly admitted to taking the money.

 

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.
