73-year-old jailed for repeated illegal employment

A 73-year-old man has been jailed by the Famagusta district court for six months for the illegal employment of a foreign worker, it was announced on Friday.

The man had been sentenced last June to four months in prison suspended for three years. The four-month sentence was activated after he was caught the second time for the same offence.

With the addition of two months for the second violation of the law, in total he will now serve six months, the Cyprus News Agency reported.
