Cyprus: Dealer jailed for 14 year

Cyprus Mail

Thursday 25 Jan 2007

---
A DRUG dealer was jailed in Larnaca yesterday for 14 years.

“The victims of drugs are now many of our citizens, who are led to
tragic dependency and even to death,” the Court heard before the
sentence was announced. “Those who traffic and provide drugs are
effectively selling death or causing the total destruction of users’
health and they create anxiety and despair to those around them.”

Stavros Panayiotou, 29, and another defendant had admitted to four
charges of conspiring to import 6,453 grams of cannabis and provide them
to others. The drugs were found in Panayiotou’s possession last November
22 as he arrived at Larnaca Airport from Holland.

He admitted to the crime, telling investigators “he’d made a mistake”.
The 29-year-old ex-waiter had reportedly been acting in a suspicious
manner while awaiting his suitcase at the luggage area, prompting a Drug
Squad officer to lead him to the customs area for a check.

The officers found five packages in his suitcase, wrapped in gift paper.
In the packages, they discovered 14 bags containing the cannabis.
