The police arrested a 60-year-old on Sunday in the framework of investigations into online fraud and the extortion of a large sum of money, after a 49-year-old in Nicosia reported he had been conned out of €24,440.
According to the police, the 49-year-old said he had been persuaded to invest money but had been scammed.
The perpetrators then allegedly demanded a further €13,100 in exchange for the man’s profits.
