Cyprus v. Israel: "Azeri assassin not sent by Iran" Israel today

2021-10-06T21:36:47.653Z


Nicosia does not accept the claims of Prime Minister Bennett's spokesman • The Azeri assassin remains silent - and will be brought in today for a remand


The Cypriot authorities are convinced that the target of the assassin caught about a week ago in Cyprus was not billionaire Teddy Sagi, but senior partners in his company.

Also, it was not sent by Iran.

This was published this morning (Wednesday) on the Cypriot news site philenews.

This is in contrast to the statement of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that this is an Iranian attack on Israelis on the island.

At the same time, the investigation of the 38-year-old Azeri assassin continues, but police sources told the Cypriot website that he does not cooperate with his investigators and is silent in his investigation.

The Azeri only agreed to admit that he had rented two rented vehicles in Ayia Napa, when verified with the rental documents.

Beyond that - his mouth filled with water.

Later in the day he will be brought to court in Nicosia for further detention, but the hearing will take place behind closed doors.

The Azeri hired a lawyer from Nicosia to represent them in court.

It was further reported that from the authorities investigation so far it appears that the assassin lived in the Turkish territory of Cyprus.

Police estimate he had at least four accomplices, but it is assumed that his accomplices had already escaped to Turkish territory after hearing about his arrest.

The Cyprus police estimate that he had aides on the Turkish side of Cyprus, from where he also obtained the gun with the silencer with which he was apprehended.

The investigation now focuses on deciphering the three mobile devices seized from the suspect, including an attempt to track down the assassin's movements, and investigating the numbers he called on the Turkish side of the island.

Authorities in Cyprus are convinced he had associates living in Turkish territory.
