    • A Russian-Israeli citizen, Alexei Kartzgor, has been arrested in Larnaca under an Interpol warrant for his alleged involvement in sea piracy.
    • Following his arrest, Kartzgor is set to appear before the Larnaca District Court on Monday, where proceedings will begin to address the extradition request from Russia.

    The 47-year-old was apprehended on Saturday at Larnaca port, following an international arrest warrant issued by Russian authorities. According to a police spokesperson, this arrest is connected to an old case involving the hijacking of the cargo ship Arctic Sea in the Baltic Sea.

    Kartzgor’s arrest has garnered attention, particularly after reports from Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth confirmed the details. It is believed that he arrived in Cyprus by ship, unaware of the pending warrant against him.

    In a twist, it has been reported that Kartzgor was previously arrested in connection with the same case. He was released on bail in 2009 but subsequently fled, prompting Russian officials to seek his extradition.

    Following his arrest, Kartzgor is set to appear before the Larnaca District Court on Monday, where proceedings will begin to address the extradition request from Russia.
