Interpol helping Cypriot police search for Papadopoulos' remains
17/12/2009

NICOSIA, Cyprus -- Authorities announced on Wednesday (December 16th) they have received useful information from Interpol on how to find the remains of late Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos, which were stolen from a cemetery on December 11th. Interpol will help investigators "piece together the puzzle", police spokesperson Michalis Katsounotos said, adding that while several people have been questioned, there are no suspects at this point. The remains of Papadopoulos, who died of lung cancer on December 12th 2008, were taken from the cemetery in the village of Deftera, near Nicosia. Local media have been speculating on two possible motives for the theft -- a bid for ransom from the family or an attempt to undermine ongoing reunification talks in the divided island.

It seems to me that it had no undermining effect on reunification talks... My intelligence services focus on another motive and that is as Arcbishop Chrisostomos once stated; it was considered that most of the GCs r disgraceful to TPap...

I remember him harshly critisizing GC community regarding disgrace they showed towards TPap... so it seems to me that this is churche's job... they took the remains of TPap and burried at a secret place that they thought he would really rest in peace away from the GCs who "disrespect" him...

In this context, I can claim that the motives behind this bizzare incident is Hellenic and religous...

Cyprus seeks Interpol help to find president's bodysnatchers

Body of Tassos Papadopoulos still missing six days on, amid rumours of a ransom demand for its return

Helena Smith in Athens
guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 16 December 2009

Cyprus has asked Interpol for help in tracing the missing corpse of former president Tassos Papadopoulos amid rumours that bodysnatchers have put out a ransom demand for its return.

With Greek and Turkish Cypriots still stunned by the theft and little headway made by police in the six days since the corpse's disappearance, authorities said today they had called in Interpol.

"We want to find out more about what motives the criminals might have had, how they might have acted and how we should deal it," police spokesman Michalis Koutsounodos said . "There is absolutely no trace of the body and we have to evaluate everything."

Cyprus's intelligence services are also investigating the case amid concerns that the bizarre affair is affecting sensitive talks to reunite the war-partitioned island.

Papadopoulos, a controversial figure who was president from 2003-2008, died at 74 from lung cancer a year ago to the day before his remains were taken from a cemetery near the divided capital Nicosia.

Under cover of darkness, the raiders shifted a heavy marble slab encasing the tomb and dug through several feet of earth before snatching the corpse from the coffin. Police said they had used lime to cover their tracks in what was soon revealed to be a highly organised crime.

Among supporters of Papadopoulos, a hardliner best known for inciting Greek Cypriots to reject a UN-backed plan to reunify the island in 2004, [color=darkred][size=24]rumour is rife that Turkish Cypriots are responsible.[/color][/size]

The possibility of Romanian grave robbers being behind a ransom demand has also circulated.
"For the moment they are just rumours," said Koutsounodos. "Papandopoulos's family has denied that they have received a ransom demand."

Thas better

A friendly wager? Proceeds to go to restoration of cemeteries .....

But of course...............providing you are not involved in any inside knowledge.

I am saying NO Turk/TCs are involved.

Coward

You have dug your grave ... now ...

Me a coward Oracle? How can you say that when I put my trust in your hands?

[vaughanwilliams]

Would anyone care to postulate what there is to be gained by the various suspected parties, bodysnatchers looking for ransom, GCs looking to stymie the talks, TCs looking to stymie the talks?
Easy one first:
Bodysnatchers - Not political, just looking for ransom.
Possible next:
GCs - Political, blame the TCs and say they are disgraceful desecrators and therefore not to be negotiated with.
Immprobable:
TCs - Political, blame the GCs and say they are loonies that dig up the graves of their national heros.
I can see the mileage in the first two postulations, but not the last - what does it gain them - we all know the GCs are loonies.

Regardless of who did this I can’t see it having any political influence. The days when GC blood would boil over such incidents are long gone…
