Interior Ministry Sends Team to Paphos Over Turkish Cypriot Property Allegations

The Ministry of Interior is sending a team to Paphos to conduct checks in relation to allegations concerning the management of Turkish Cypriot properties by the Paphos Municipality and the former Mayor. The checks will focus on the leases of the properties, including those involving the Paphos Municipality. The Ministry of Interior has launched a campaign of sample checks of Turkish Cypriot property contracts throughout Cyprus, with the aim of streamlining their management. The investigation in Paphos concerns possible omissions or irregularities in the leases, and an investigation into the actions of the former Mayor is ongoing. An administrative investigation has already been carried out in the past, with recommendations to the Mayor on how he intervened in the leases.
