Israeli held over land in north
AN ISRAELI businessman was remanded in custody for six days by the Larnaca court yesterday on suspicion of buying Greek Cypriot property in the north.
Amir Hayam, 59, was stopped and searched when he landed at Larnaca airport on Wednesday morning on a flight from Tel Aviv.
He was arrested the same afternoon after police obtained a warrant based on what they had found in his possession.
Officers told the court yesterday they had found papers that proved Hayam, whom police said was an architect, had bought 8.5 hectares of land in the Kyrenia district.
He was planning to return there on Wednesday, they said.
They also said they had proof from public documents issued in the north that Hayam was listed as having paid $40,000 as a down payment on the land on February 8.
After examining details of the plot in question, police said they had established that the land belonged to a Greek Cypriot.
