| Turkish Cypriot Lawyer - Akan Kursat |
Turkish Cypriot lawyer Akan Kursat has given his consent to be extradited to Cyprus it emerged on Monday, following his arrest over a month ago in a case involving the sale of Greek Cypriot properties in the north.
According to reports, Kursat gave his consent last Thursday to be returned to Cyprus to face justice, after he initially rejected the extradition request last month.
Kursat was arrested on New Year’s Eve at his hotel in Rome, based on an arrest warrant from 2007.
The warrant was related to property sales in Kyrenia in 2004-2005, where his office acted as the representative for British con man Gary Robb, who extorted millions out of Britons looking to buy property in the village of Klepini.
According to a report in Politis, the police are expected to send a team to Italy within the week to collect Kursat and bring him to Cyprus.
He will be questioned and charged.
