Following his escape, an internal police investigation was launched, resulting in the suspension of the officer responsible for guarding him.

After his recapture, Uven was examined by a state doctor at Larnaca Hospital, who declared him fit for custody.

He is scheduled to appear before the Larnaca District Court on December 24, 2024, for a detention order related to his escape.

Court proceedings for his extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for fraud, will continue on December 30, 2024.

Investigators are looking into how Uven entered Cyprus, considering the possibility that he arrived via the occupied northern territory.

Hans Jonny Uven, a 49-year-old Swedish businessman wanted for a €90 million fraud, was arrested at Larnaca Airport on December 6, 2024, under a European arrest warrant.

Swedish media reported that Uven had previously managed bankrupt mining and construction companies, and ongoing searches are being conducted for hidden assets.

While being treated for gastroenteritis at a private clinic in Larnaca, Uven managed to escape on December 22, 2024, by detaching a protective bed rail and slipping through a window.

Uven was recaptured on December 23, 2024, after a coordinated manhunt, found hiding on the fifth floor of a construction site in Larnaca.

Authorities believe Uven had been living in Cyprus for several months before his arrest, where he attempted to board a flight to Bangkok.

Uven's escape highlights systemic issues within police oversight, as this incident marks the 16th escape of convicts or suspects from police detention in the last five years.

Concerns have been raised regarding the decision to place Uven in a private clinic instead of a general hospital, with suspicions of a possibly planned escape.
