A 45-year-old man was arrested and detained by the police in Cyprus after cocaine was found in the body of one of his minor children, aged five.
According to police officers, on May 21, two foreigners asked a chemist in Limassol for tests to be performed on their minor children, where cocaine was found in the body of a child.
