Following a bloody clash in Larnaca, police carried out mass arrests of 11 individuals, including two businessmen, security guards, and a defendant already in custody. The operation was highly secretive and involved raids on homes and other premises. The suspects are accused of obstructing the police investigation, as well as forming a criminal organization and money laundering. A large sum of money, approximately 100,000 euros, was found in the possession of one of the businessmen. The suspects' appearance in court was accompanied by draconian security measures.
