The way you type is difficult to understandthey make fill the most complicate from urss time , kilos , make you police interview 5 times , than they will say soory we preferer to have russian clints after you loose 10 mouths in headache , forget them ,
also boc keep a very big eyes on them , complety useless , but the rest of cyprus bank if u you not pay someone inside is same
