| Fugitives' Paradise ![]() On the trail of British fugitives in Northern Cyprus Kenyon Confronts: Fugitives' Paradise was broadcast on Wednesday, 15 January, 2003 at 1930 GMT on BBC One In the second of his new four-part series Paul Kenyon reveals that Northern Cyprus is the latest destination of choice for British criminals on the run. As British criminals can no longer seek refuge in Spain's Costa del Crime, dozens of fugitives have been flocking to Cyprus in the knowledge that the north of the island is not recognised as a country by the UK and has no extradition treaty. Posing as a tourist to avoid arrest by the Northern Cypriot authorities, Kenyon infiltrates the British criminal community. Kenyon Confronts - Fugitives' Paradise goes on the trail of a big-time drugs dealer, a prisoner who swapped his cell for a millionaire's yacht and a multi-million pound fraudster.
