A 37-year-old man was remanded by Nicosia district court for six days on Tuesday suspected of involvement in a case of labour exploitation, threats of violence and other related offences.
Police said the case unfolded when authorities were informed about the possible labour exploitation of an elderly person at a livestock unit in Nicosia.
When the police arrived, they found a 73-year-old man cleaning the facilities, who is believed to be a victim of human trafficking.
He was then taken to the police station to give his statement.
Police later proceeded with the arrest of the 37-year-old owner of the livestock unit.
A search conducted at the premises revealed several documents related to the offences under investigation.
Investigations into the case are ongoing.
