Israeli Couple Arrested in Cyprus With 126 Kilograms of Ketamine
A joint operation by Cypriot and Israeli law enforcement resulted in the arrest of an Israeli couple in Cyprus, who were found with 126 kilograms of ketamine hidden inside paint containers. The discovery was made during a search of a vehicle at a port in Cyprus. The couple, identified as Israeli citizens, were apprehended by authorities.
Following the arrest, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs was notified. However, some public reactions expressed a desire for the couple to face severe punishment in Cyprus and not be allowed to return to Israel. There were also comments suggesting that the Israeli government should not intervene in the case, with some comparing it to past government actions regarding the release of Israelis abroad.
The incident highlights a growing trend of Israelis relocating to Cyprus, with some commenters noting that this arrest is indicative of further issues that may arise from this migration. The large quantity of ketamine seized suggests a significant drug trafficking operation.
