Larnaca Police Director Haralambos Zachariou Passes Away at 53
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.
