According to the publication Philenews<\/em>, the body was discovered in a hard-to-reach coastal area, located on the southern shore of the island \u2014 between the town of Pissouri and the village of Avdimou, in the region where the businessman’s search was taking place. The body was found in a ravine, on a rocky portion of the coastline. The authorities are waiting for official confirmation of the deceased’s identity \u2014 due to the condition of the body, it may be necessary to conduct a DNA examination or identification based on dental records.<\/p>\n

The search operation lasted several days and was conducted with the participation of local police, as well as personnel from British military bases in Cyprus. Drones were used to check hard-to-reach areas. As Philenews<\/em> notes, the search was complicated by winter weather conditions and strong winds.<\/p>\n
