An Indian man, with a fake Bulgarian passport, is allegedly amongst the 3 people arrested for the theft of the corpse of Cyprus's ex-President Tassos Papadopoulos.
Police said they had arrested two Greek Cypriots and a foreign national on suspicion of involvement in the theft.
One of the Greek Cypriots was already serving a prison sentence for other offences, a spokesman said. The men are set to appear in court later on Wednesday.
