So what was the political statement here?

Police in Cyprus said Tuesday they have found the body of former President Tassos Papadopoulos, which was stolen from his grave late last year.

Police said they found the body at a Nicosia cemetery Monday night following an anonymous tip. They went with members of the late president’s family, who identified evidence.

“There has been identification through the means of DNA and it was confirmed that the corpse belongs to the former president,” a police spokesman told CNN. The spokesman could not be named in line with policy.

Update: It was ransom. That makes ‘total’ sense.
