Fake notes found

POLICE found fake notes worth 3,500 euros and a bogus $100 bill on two men arrested for trying to cash a forged 500-euro note at a Girne casino, a court head.

Tajik nationals Firdavs Sharifow and Dilshod Kurbanov were found to have used four more fake 500-euro notes and one for 100 euros at the town’s Grand Pasha casino.

Girne District Court remanded them in prison custody on Thursday for 30 days pending trial.
