A 42-year-old man in the Fatih district of Istanbul defrauded a 75-year-old woman living alone with a promise of marriage. After taking 3.5 million TL from the elderly woman, he obtained her bank card and passwords, and sent an execution notice to her home. A relative of the unfortunate woman found notes saying, "They locked me in the house, they took my money." It was understood that the woman was defrauded by a relative, while it was learned that the man was in the news due to a 17 million inheritance case from his 84-year-old wife who passed away 3 years ago.

DEFRAUDED THE ELDERLY WOMAN OF 3.5 MILLION TL WITH A PROMISE OF MARRIAGE

The incident occurred on October 5, 2024, in the Fatih district of Istanbul. According to the allegations, 3 years ago, 75-year-old Sahavet K. met real estate agent Harun E. (42).

Harun E. had the elderly woman sign a promissory note as if she owed money to another woman he was in a relationship with. The man and his girlfriend also initiated an execution process against the elderly woman's house worth 10 million TL.
