Stavros Papaioannou is indeed Cypriot.

Was - he died in 2009 (see the history of his Cypriot furniture company)

I have rarely seen a dead corpse top be quoted in such a whole lot of media like him after the crash...

But back to topic: There is more and more reports from different sources that there may have been as many as 178 people on board instead of the 110 informed by Hewa Bora earlier. I cannot see how to fit 178 people into a 727-100 while at the same time fulfilling MaxPax rules but this remains to be confirmed.
