Some key data about bond purchases by Bank of Cyprus - now the focus of a controversial EU-IMF bailout - is missing, investigators have found.
The gaps were found in computer records studied by a financial consultancy, Alvarez and Marsal, Cypriot media say.
Bank of Cyprus - the island's biggest bank - bought Greek bonds which turned into some 1.9bn euros (£1.6bn; $2.4bn) of losses in the Greek debt crisis.
Depositors with more than 100,000 euros in the bank are now facing a big loss.
The "haircut" for such deposits in Bank of Cyprus is expected to be about 60%.
The money taken from those accounts, and from deposits above 100,000 euros at Laiki (Popular) Bank, will be used by the government to contribute billions towards the bailout.
