Greek "Hit-Men" To Be Extradited To Cyprus For Agia Napa Murders


An Appeals Justices Council on Tuesday approved the extradition of two Greek men wanted in connection with the ambush murders of five body guards in the centre of Cyprus' Agia Napa holiday district on June 23. The appeals justices' decided to grant the request by Cypriot authorities means that the two men stand trial in Cyprus for killing three Cypriot nationals and two Romanian nationals, employed as body guards by a Cypriot businessman.

The two suspects are a 29-year-old local that police say has links with self-styled "anti-establishment" groups and a 41-year-old linked to past drug-dealing cases.

Sources said the 29-year-old, who Cypriot authorities claim carried out the shootings of the five victims, agreed to his extradition. The 41-year-old, by contrast, objected to his extradition on the grounds that there is outstanding legal action against him before Greek courts. (AMNA)
