Three people have been remanded in custody for eight days in connection with an alleged fraudulent property transfer in Nicosia, police said on Tuesday.
The suspects, aged 56, 62 and 76, were arrested as part of an investigation into offences including conspiracy to defraud, fraudulent dealings involving property belonging to another person, and the preparation of documents without authority.
According to police, the case was reported on June 15 by two people, aged 61 and 63, who said a property they own in the Nicosia district had been transferred to a third party without their approval.
Investigators initially obtained testimony against a 56-year-old woman, who was arrested on June 18. She was brought before the Nicosia District Court the same day, which issued an eight-day remand order.
Further inquiries led to evidence against two more suspects, aged 62 and 76. The 62-year-old was arrested on June 21 and appeared before the Nicosia District Court on Monday, where he was also remanded for eight days. The 76-year-old was arrested on June 22 and appeared before the same court on Tuesday, which issued a similar eight-day remand order.
Nicosia CID is continuing its investigation.
