Members of the Limassol Crime Investigation Department (CID) transferred a 40-year-old man from Greece to Cyprus.

The man, who completed his prison sentence in Greece, was handed over by Greek authorities.

He will now serve a 12-year prison sentence in Cyprus, imposed in absentia by the Limassol Criminal Court in 2012 for a robbery case.

Four European arrest warrants were pending against him, issued by the Republic of Cyprus, including one for the 12-year sentence and three for other offenses such as armed robbery, car arson, illegal possession and transportation of a firearm, and escape from lawful custody.
