Cross-examination of witness regarding land registry practices for properties in the occupied territories in the trial of a German real estate agent.

During cross-examination, it was revealed that the Land Registry of Kyrenia is not required to be notified of property sales through the "Immovable Property Commission (IPC)" in occupied areas. The lack of action to address this issue was attributed to a "state matter." Concerns were raised about the accuracy of land registry plans in occupied areas due to the inability to conduct on-site measurements. Discrepancies in map scales and potential electronic errors leading to property area differences were also discussed. The defense questioned the Land Registry's failure to warn the public about these risks since 1974. The trial is set to continue on February 6th.
