Who owns the offices that were fired upon?

A group of companies operates in the building. It is owned by a 60-year-old man. He is originally from Ukraine and holds a Cypriot identity card. The names of the companies and the nature of their activity are not given in the reports. The investigation has also not disclosed a motive for the attack.

The case is being investigated by Limassol Criminal Investigation Department

The investigation is being conducted by Limassol CID (TAE). Its task is to find and detain the two attackers. There have been no arrests so far.

Linopetra is in the east of Limassol and belongs to the Municipality of Amathunta. The municipality was created in June 2024 during local government reform from eight districts, including Germasogeia, Agios Athanasios and Agios Tychonas. More than 42,000 people live there.

How often are businesses attacked in Limassol?

This is not the first high-profile case in the past year. In March 2026 two car dealerships belonging to the same family were burned in Limassol: brothers aged 33 and 22, car dealers, were victims of arson for the second time. One of the sites, Club 44, was on Amathuntos Avenue.

In October 2025 businessman and philanthropist Stavros Demosthenous was shot dead in Limassol. The attackers fired at his car while he was travelling with his son. According to one version shots were fired from a van, according to another from a motorcycle. There is no information that the shooting in Linopetra is linked to these cases.
