Time to find another bolt hole, Cypriots tell British fugitives

When a suspected British criminal goes on the run, a discreet telephone call is made to police in the pariah state of northern Cyprus.



Turkish Cypriot detectives are accustomed to receiving tip-offs from their British counterparts about notorious criminal underworld figures who are heading for the island. Ever since Turkey invaded the north more than 30 years ago, the sun-baked coastline has been a haven for villains happy to exploit the impotence of extradition warrants in an occupied territory.



But as leaders from both the Turkish north and Greek south prepare for next month's talks aimed at uniting the island, the self- proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) has vowed to end its reputation as a villains' bolt hole. Ferdi Soyer, the prime minister, told The Times that Britons seeking sanctuary from justice would be deported.

Perish the thought that Asil Nadir would ever be sent back in handcuffs to face justice.

And then arrived in the TRNC and lived happily ever after with LOADSAMONEY. But what kind of a man would have a woman do time for him?

Actually, for that kind of money I would have done porridge for him. But I would draw the line at stirring his porridge.
