Dmitry Punin's wine boutique in Limassol was shot at
In Limassol, Cyprus, unknown assailants opened fire on the facade of the PUNIN WINE boutique, owned by businessman Dmitry Punin.
The incident occurred on the morning of March 31 in the Germasogeia neighborhood.
According to surveillance footage, an assailant dressed in black arrived on a motorcycle, fired several shots, and fled.
This is already the fourth attack on Punin’s businesses. Previously, unknown assailants set fire to his cars, the boutique itself, and a restaurant.
According to journalists, the cause may be a conflict over so-called “protection” of the business following the death of an influential criminal intermediary who controlled this sphere.
It is reported that new contenders for control over the business demanded a “protection” fee from the entrepreneur, but he refused.
Currently, there is no official information from the Cyprus police regarding the motives behind the attack.
On January 28, 2026, the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv opened proceedings on a lawsuit filed by Dmitry Punin, a Russian citizen subject to sanctions, against a number of Ukrainian media outlets. The Russian is demanding that information about him be refuted.
