Authorities in Greece and Cyprus have conducted several high-profile arrests involving organized crime, theft, and drug offenses.

In Athens, three men were arrested as part of an organized crime group specializing in the counterfeiting and distribution of fake currency. Police seized 434 suspected counterfeit 100 US dollar bills, with a total estimated value of 43,750 USD and 50 EUR. Investigations suggest the group sourced the bills from other members of a network operating in multiple countries.

In Limassol, Cyprus, two men aged 19 and 21 were arrested following the robbery of a 25-year-old food delivery driver. During the investigation, police discovered approximately 772 grams of cannabis buried in the yard of the suspects' residence.

In Greece, separate incidents were reported in Larissa, where two minors were arrested for a series of thefts including bicycles, cash, and mobile phones, and in Agrinio, where three men were detained for possession of cannabis in a school courtyard.
