'No questions asked': how Russian money is fuelling a building boom in northern Cyprus.
Casinos and schools fill with Russians in the island's Turkish-occupied north, which offers a sanctions-free life for those seeking to move their money after a clampdown in the south.
Construction activity in the island's self-proclaimed republic is booming. Tower blocks are multiplying in an industry flourishing thanks to an influx of rubles and Iranian rials that have led to cashflows increasing and foreign currency reserves soaring to about 80% of the value of bank holdings.
Few places know this more than Iskele, a once-nondescript town whose flatlands have been transformed under the weight of ferro concrete. Turkish Cypriots have come to call the seaside town a new Limassol, the coastal city to the south that played no small part in earning Cyprus the moniker of Moscow on the Med.
As in Limassol, where the first oligarchs arrived after the fall of the Soviet Union, Iskele's boulevards are lined with Cyrillic shop signs, billboards promising "the dream life", luxury car dealerships and cryptocurrency outlets.
Christodoulos G. Vassiliades & CO. LLC building is seen at Ayiou Pavlou 15, Nicosia, Cyprus, on Nov. 3, 2023. Christodoulos Vassiliades, a Cypriot lawyer, is linked to Alisher Usmanov, a Russian oligarch that sanctions have been imposed to him.

The area of Iskele/Trikomo is called the "Limassol in the North", as it is the new area that foreigners, mostly Russians, are investing, especially after the sanctions due to the war in Ukraine, as they cannot easily invest in the Southern Cyprus as they used to do.

'No questions asked': how Russian money is fuelling a building boom in northern Cyprus.
Casinos and schools fill with Russians in the island's Turkish-occupied north, which offers a sanctions-free life for those seeking to move their money after a clampdown in the south.
Construction activity in the island's self-proclaimed republic is booming. Tower blocks are multiplying in an industry flourishing thanks to an influx of rubles and Iranian rials that have led to cashflows increasing and foreign currency reserves soaring to about 80% of the value of bank holdings.
Few places know this more than Iskele, a once-nondescript town whose flatlands have been transformed under the weight of ferro concrete. Turkish Cypriots have come to call the seaside town a new Limassol, the coastal city to the south that played no small part in earning Cyprus the moniker of Moscow on the Med.
As in Limassol, where the first oligarchs arrived after the fall of the Soviet Union, Iskele's boulevards are lined with Cyrillic shop signs, billboards promising "the dream life", luxury car dealerships and cryptocurrency outlets.
A view of the Caesar Project which lies on two locations, one inside Iskele and one a little further on the North, is seen in Northern Cyprus, Bogaz, Cyprus, on Nov. 2, 2023. The area of Iskele/Trikomo is called the "Limassol in the North", as it is the new area that foreigners, mostly Russians, are investing, especially after the sanctions due to the war in Ukraine, as they cannot easily invest in the Southern Cyprus as they used to do.

'No questions asked': how Russian money is fuelling a building boom in northern Cyprus.
Casinos and schools fill with Russians in the island's Turkish-occupied north, which offers a sanctions-free life for those seeking to move their money after a clampdown in the south.
Construction activity in the island's self-proclaimed republic is booming. Tower blocks are multiplying in an industry flourishing thanks to an influx of rubles and Iranian rials that have led to cashflows increasing and foreign currency reserves soaring to about 80% of the value of bank holdings.
Few places know this more than Iskele, a once-nondescript town whose flatlands have been transformed under the weight of ferro concrete. Turkish Cypriots have come to call the seaside town a new Limassol, the coastal city to the south that played no small part in earning Cyprus the moniker of Moscow on the Med.
As in Limassol, where the first oligarchs arrived after the fall of the Soviet Union, Iskele's boulevards are lined with Cyrillic shop signs, billboards promising "the dream life", luxury car dealerships and cryptocurrency outlets.
A sign of an upcoming construction with the Russian, English and Iranian flags is seen in Northern Cyprus, Iskele / Trikomo, Cyprus, on Nov. 2, 2023. The area of Iskele/Trikomo is called the "Limassol in the North", as it is the new area that foreigners, mostly Russians, are investing, especially after the sanctions due to the war in Ukraine, as they cannot easily invest in the Southern Cyprus as they used to do.

A hotel and casino is seen at the occupied part of Nicosia with the flags of Turkey and the so called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, North Nicosia, Cyprus, on Nov. 2, 2023. Many Russians and other foreigners, such as Iranians and other Europeans, invest at the occupied part of Cyprus, as prices are still lower than in the Southern part or other European countries. This part of Cyprus is filled with casinos, which helps in money laundering.
