AROUND €400,000 worth of fake euro notes has been imported into Cyprus through the European Union, police chief Michalis Papageorgiou said yesterday. 

Police are looking for an individual in connection with importing the counterfeit notes and have already arrested four people, Papageorgiou said. 

Papageorgiou said they were proceeding with their investigations at a quick pace and would notify the public of some distinguishing characteristics of the fake euro notes as soon as they complete their investigation. 

In the meantime, the public can visit the European Central bank’s website at www.ecb.europa.eu to check the built-in security features for genuine notes.
