In Limassol, Georgian Woman on Stop List, Posing as Greek, Arrested
Limassol police apprehended a Georgian citizen who had been passing herself off as Greek using a counterfeit identity card. Previously identified as a prohibited migrant in the country, she had been placed on the stop list, barring her from visiting the island.
According to police reports, the 27-year-old woman was discovered during a joint operation between the police and the Department of Labour Inspection at a multi-story building on Amathus Avenue in Limassol.

Upon her apprehension, the foreigner admitted to using a fake passport and disclosed her true identity.
Subsequent checks against police databases revealed that the woman's actual name was listed on the stop list as a "prohibited immigrant."
