LARNACA: A 34-year-old man was found guilty by the Larnaca Assize court for importing 112 kilos of mephedrone, with the intent to ship it to the UK.

A 50-year-old man from Potamia village was also arrested after police found his name on the manifest. After spending 11 months in jail, the 50-year old was cleared of all charges.
