Under the title The bank accounts of Talat Kursat were blocked Turkish Cypriot daily VOLKAN newspaper (18.10.05) reports that very important developments started to take place in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus (OTRC) after Mr Garry Robb, the major partner in the Aga Development in the OTRC, fled with millions of dollars for Taiwan and refuses to return. The paper notes that the bank accounts of Mr Talat Kursat, who was the lawyer of Mr Robb, were blocked.
According to VOLKAN the accounts of Mr Talat Kursat at the HSBC Bank, who was the lawyer of Mr Robb and the Aga Developments ltd, were frozen by the self-styled minister of finance and the self-styled public prosecutors office in the OTRC.
The paper, invoking information, writes that the payments from the residences undertaken to be built by the Aga Developments for around 500 foreign clients, were deposited to the account of another real estate agent named Mark Unwin. This man later transferred the money to the account of Garry Robb. Because of some disagreements that occurred, the payments of the clients started to be deposited in the accounts of Mr Talat Kursat at the HSBC Bank.
It was learned that the amount of the deposits was about 1.5 million sterling pounds monthly. It was learned that only during the year 2005, the total of 10 million sterling pounds were deposited to the accounts of the lawyer Kursat and were after transferred to the accounts of Garry Robb on behalf of the lawyer Kursat. In addition, Mr Robb started to transfer money from this account to his own account in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. The last transfer took placed in August or in July but after a bank in Hong Kong took notice of a huge transfer of money, informed the Ministry of Finance of the British Government which laid hand on the money (around 1.5 million sterling pounds).
The paper also writes that some years ago Mr Robb was arrested in the UK upon some claims for smuggling, however, because of the fact that there was no evidence he was set free.
