Police in Cyprus are investigating the origin of a large sum of money discovered in a Nicosia house on Sunday.
A 33-year-old woman was arrested for illegal possession of property and is also being investigated for money laundering.
During a search conducted by the National Anti-Money Laundering Agency (YKAN), authorities found a safe hidden in the bathroom of the woman’s home.
Inside the safe, they discovered and seized €126,360, for which the woman could not provide a satisfactory explanation regarding its origin.
The woman was arrested and taken to the YKAN offices, where she was questioned in writing. She was later released and will be summoned for further proceedings.
The Nicosia Provincial Police (YKAN) is continuing to investigate the case.
