Deceitful land transfers exposed in Pyrga
An order was issued by the District Court of Larnaca to freeze six plots of land, which were unlawfully transferred from deceased Turkish Cypriots to natural and legal persons. The freezing order represents a significant step in the ongoing investigation by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Larnaca. The case involves alleged falsification of documents by a group of Greek Cypriots to appropriate the frozen property, with potential involvement of officials from the Larnaca Land Registry. The investigation also looks into the role of a former lawyer who has been removed from the Pan-Cypriot Bar Association register. The alleged crimes took place in February and were discovered when an individual tried to secure a payment certificate from the community authority of Pyrga. The police are currently investigating the case.
