Larnaca’s Police Director, Haralambos Zachariou, has passed away at the age of 53. In recent days, he had been receiving treatment at a hospital in Germany.
According to local media, Zachariou died on Friday in a German oncology clinic.
Throughout his career, he served in various roles within the Larnaca police force and was promoted to director just a few months ago.
