Read it:

After losing a third of its territory in 1974, an island of under a million people sold foreign money what it had left: English-style law, a company register, banks six times the size of its economy and, from 2007 to 2020, its citizenship. This book follows the bankers, lawyers, accountants, developers and politicians who ran that trade and what the courts made of them — convictions, acquittals, and a former president whom an anti-corruption body found may have abused his office — and, beside them, the island's own underworld of car bombs and unsolved contract killings. Covers Nicos Anastasiades and his family's law firm, Demetris Syllouris and the Cyprus Investment Programme, Christodoulos Christodoulou and the Central Bank of Cyprus, Demetris Ioannides and MeritServus, and Tal Dilian and WS WiSpear Systems.
