Legal developments have emerged regarding criminal investigations in Greece and Cyprus. In Greece, a non-commissioned officer of the Greek Army was released following an investigation into the ‘A-TEAM’ group, a cryptocurrency fraud scheme involving the FXO platform. Prosecutors found no evidence that the officer was involved in a criminal organization, fraud, or money laundering.

In Cyprus, judicial actions have addressed burglary and theft. A 44-year-old man was released by the Limassol District Court after being extradited from Greece for burglaries occurring between 2010 and 2013. Separately, the Court of Appeal in Cyprus upheld a three-year immediate imprisonment sentence for a man convicted of residential burglary and the theft of items valued at €18,520 in Limassol. The court rejected the defendant's appeal, noting the severity of the crimes and his history of domestic violence.
