Were these people Cypriot or foreigners? You can't do much to avoid your own hooligans but I think such people should be placed in a black list so that they can't cause problems in other counties also! I think travel restrictions should be a penalty for all kinds of criminals. Say you did something and you got 3 months in jail ... in addition to that you should get 3 years travel restrictions!

As per the Cyprus Snail it was Six Greek Cypriots, two Bulgarians, one Hungarian, and one Syrian, varying in age from 29 to 47. Not a Romanian (nor a Drunken Brit yob,), in sight.

TEN people, arrested in connection with Monday night’s violence in Ayia Napa, were let go on bail yesterday after their lawyer objected to the way the charges were framed at Famagusta District Court.
The ten did not respond to the charges either way pending the court’s ruling on the defence lawyer’s objections.
They are facing charges six charges including assault, interfering with police on duty and possessing attack instruments.
The group, aged between 29 and 47, consists of six Greek Cypriots, two Bulgarians, one Hungarian and a Syrian.
They were part of a larger group consisting of 20 individuals who were harassing shop owners and members of the public around Makarios III avenue leading towards the Ayia Napa harbour.
Larnaca Press Agency reports that the group were trying to enforce their own personal rule of law to the area’s businesses.
Members of the public complained at around 11pm on Monday and the rapid reaction unit MMAD squad arrived on the scene where they used “reasonable force” to contain the group.
According to the police, two officers were injured.
Court set bail at €2,000 for each person and set a new hearing date on July 13.
Meanwhile, Justice Minister Loucas Louca has said they will be increasing police presence in tourist areas in Cyprus with police interfering to restore order whenever “information is available about criminal offences"
