More special police for Limassol

THIRTY special policemen are to be stationed in Limassol on a permanent basis.

The decision was announced yesterday by Justice Minister Nicos Koshis after a meeting of the Council of Ministers.

The policemen are expected to be sent to Limassol in the next few days as part of measures to make the town less vulnerable to crime.

“After the acquittal of the Aeroporos brothers, there has been some tension, ” Koshis said, referring to the release of the three brothers who had been charged with the attempted murder of Antonis Fanieros. Andros Aeroporos was subsequently murdered in Limassol.

“We are now in a better position,” he confidently concluded.
