The major drug affair in Cyprus, centered on an Israeli couple and a Palestinian couple who were arrested, is expanding significantly. Cyprus police announced that they located and seized an additional 263.5 kg of ketamine in a warehouse in Limassol, bringing the total amount of ketamine seized in the investigation to over 390 kg - three times the initial seizure. The retail value of the cargo is estimated at up to 10 million euros. The warehouse was located following information and evidence obtained during the investigation of the previous seizure. On Saturday, over 126 kg of ketamine were seized in two houses in Limassol. The four suspects were arrested, and the court extended their detention by eight days. The investigation focuses on suspicion of a criminal network involving Israelis, which transferred drugs from Israel to Cyprus using luxury yachts. The drugs were disguised as construction materials and sanitary ware. Investigators are examining whether the island served as a transit point to other countries.
