Management committee reports criminal activity at Filanta Court in Larnaca

The management committee of Filanta Court, a five-building residential complex on Makarios Avenue in Larnaca, has issued an urgent appeal for state intervention following reports of serious criminal activities. The complex, which has been officially declared dangerous by the Larnaca District Local Government Organisation, is currently the subject of a police investigation due to systematic exploitation of the properties.

Legal owners report that their apartments are being occupied under forged or invalid rental agreements without their consent. The committee further alleges that third parties are unlawfully collecting rent, potentially engaging in money laundering, and operating illegal electricity and water connections through meter tampering or external wiring. Residents face ongoing intimidation and threats, contributing to a volatile environment within the shared spaces of the complex.

This follows a significant security operation on May 27, 2026, when an individual died and two others were injured after jumping from balconies to avoid arrest by the Aliens and Immigration Service. Authorities are now reviewing these new allegations to restore order and address the multifaceted legal and safety violations identified by the property owners.
