Stolen corpse of ex-Cypriot president recovered
The country’s justice minister said it had been held for ransom, but Papadopoulos’s family said that they had never received a demand for money.
The right-wing Greek Cypriot hardliner’s body was stolen in December during slow-moving reunification talks with Turkish Cypriot leaders. A lack of clear motive and few clues led to speculation that it could have been politically motivated, but authorities suggested early on that ransom was a more likely scenario.
