Three arrested for illegal employment

Three people have been arrested for illegally working and residing in Cyprus, while their 70-year-old employer has been charged.

Acting on a tip-off, Paphos police investigated a pizza parlour in Chloraka on Wednesday, where they found three foreign nationals, two aged 31 and the other 37, who were working without a permit.

Further investigations determined that the workers were also in Cyprus without a residence permit.

The three people were arrested and detained, pending their criminal prosecution.
