Three people were arrested in Paphos on Thursday, accused of working illegally in the town.

The three, two men aged 28 and 24 years old and a 23-year-old woman, and their alleged employers, two men aged 58 and 41 years old, were accused in writing to be summoned to court at a later date.

The legal service will now decide whether or not to prosecute the employers.

Paphos police’s assistant operations director Michalis Nikolaou said the two men were working at a restaurant in the town.

The 24-year-old had allegedly been staying in Cyprus illegally since August, while the 28-year-old had allegedly been staying in Cyprus illegally since November.

At the same time, another police team at the Paphos market found that the 23-year-old woman had been working illegally there, and that she had been staying in Cyprus since March.
