Your link is old a lot of things have changed regarding some of the info, a new government in U.K. since Friday gone, definitely no mention of North or South Cyprus.
I thought also that the changes now with Property and who can purchase was to stop most of this.

My opinion, don’t think it will change peoples minds if they have decided to leave the Russians will find a way of getting rid of their money.

Bit rich given the suits in the square mile in London & the Russians and every other man and his dog in the likes of Knightsbridge Belgravia ...

London one of the corrupt capitals of the world

The irony is most of this is propaganda from greek Cyprus who have been laundering russian money for decades and are now crying because they recently got a visit from the f.b.i.. and told to stop avoiding sanctions ...

You couldn't make it up that's it's them crying now ...

Just for balance helena smith the pro greek guardian writer ;.

Read both articles and decide whose side she is on ...childhood part in Cyprus and 30 years in Athens ...

"The f.b.i. are helping "...that's a good one ..more like forced to intervene ...

Thy seem to have bought the place out of top of the range Range Rovers \nd Jeeps and then moved on to 4 x 4 Jags, in a funny sort of beige colour. Not very nice to be honest.

Passed a Rolls Royce SUV this morning.
List price $471,300 US Dollar.
How much import Tax? Thinking of buying one (not)

I've always said I'd love to be able to afford these luxury vehicles, not that I'd buy one even if I could afford it, rather have the dosh.

Two Maseratis today parked outside coffee shop. Drivers, young attractive Ruski ladies. Sadly I can only claim the latter.

When this bubble bursts even the shepherds that run around the mountains in the old beat up Renaults will be driving Range Rovers - lol. It is sad that the Government has to rumble around in the shody old motors they have!
