Does Cherie have property in the north too?

RUMOURS yesterday resurfaced that Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, received property in the occupied areas as payment for representing David and Linda Orams in their UK property appeal against Greek Cypriot refugee Meletios Apostolides.

The issue was brought to light by ‘Offsite’, an email news bulletin, which made reference to an article on legal website nolegalese.com.

The article, ‘Cherie Blair and the Bounced Cheque from North Cyprus’, was written by Lesley Hardy, the UK Chairman of Wellington Estates Ltd, a property development company registered in the occupied areas.

The lengthy piece basically refers to reports in the Turkish Cypriot media that the QC allegedly received a dud cheque for payment of her legal fees when she defended the Orams’ against the claim by Apostolides concerning his home in occupied Lapithos.

The article then continues: “However, the story has wide circulation on internet blogs and further rumours have surfaced. One rumour is that Cherie Blair agreed for her legal fees to be paid in kind, and is now the owner of several apartments in the north. One apartment is allegedly near Lapta, which is the location of the disputed property.

“Cherie and Tony Blair have an interest in property investment. In 2002, they used the services of convicted fraudster Peter Foster to purchase two apartments in Bristol, one for the use of their son Euan, and the other as a rental investment.

“It is further rumoured that Cherie Blair now owns several apartments in North Cyprus, which are held in trust, and that rental income is collected by a well known British estate agent.”

Speaking from the UK yesterday, Hardy said he was “not prepared to enlarge on the rumours” but that there was “substance” to them and he was not reporting “on a scurrilous basis”.

Nevertheless the property developer did not wish to be drawn into the issue further.

“I cannot definitely say that she [Blair] does own property in North Cyprus in her name or an alias. I cannot confirm that,” said Hardy.

However the “story will probably resurface”, he added.

No one was yesterday available for comment from Blair’s law firm, Matrix Chambers.

I don't understand from whom Cherie Blair would of received a dud cheque?

Did the TRNC fund the case? Surely it would of been the Orams, no?

Funny stuff.

I think bananiot is waiting to see what Loucas Charalambous says in the Cyprus Mail before he comments about the ECJ judgment.

I can picture it now. Bananiot will soon be telling us that the ECJ decision is irrelevant and the ONLY assistance Greek Cypriots have on restitution for properties is to except and resurrect the Annan Plan. You wait and see.

Well if she does own property in the north I think Mrs. Blair should get some legal advice quick.

I think she should consult the Orams as they have more experience on the subject...

I think loucas and bananiot are consulting their problems over non stop round of Jack Daniels...skeeming their next move...

I doubt it was the TRNC boomer...they must have known it would not go in their favour...

If they knew of that then they wouldn't be selling GC properties to foreigners. TCs are known for doing something very wrong and then saying so many excuses and lies that in the end they believe their own excuses and lies and think they are doing nothing wrong And Turkey tells them is alright and if Turkey says so it must be

[roseandchan]

i think the bounced check thing was first reported by the turkish press.
questions were asked but they wouldn't answer one way or another if it were true.
yes, they were caught up before doing iffy property deals in the uk, but i think this is all just a load of gossip.
i'm sure they can afford to buy property anywhere in the world, why would they invest or have property in the north, the rents are low.
i think they knew the orams would come unstuck in the end, but she is like any other lawyer all she cares about is getting paid.
