A public employee embezzled 300 million! He was caught after his ex-wife reported him.

Ramazan M., who works at a public institution in Ankara, received various amounts of money with the promise of bringing phones and white goods from abroad at a reasonable price. Not content with this, Ramazan M. also borrowed money from many friends under the pretext of having debts, even getting loans for friends who did not have money. By paying off the initial debts, Ramazan M. gained trust and gradually increased the amounts of the debts. However, after a while, friends who became suspicious of Ramazan M.'s absence from work reached out to his family to explain the situation.

EX-WIFE REPORTED HIM MISSING

According to the news by Dilhan Dumanoğlu from Sabah, Ramazan M.'s ex-wife Ö.Ö, who was shocked by what she heard, reported him missing when she could not reach him. During the police search at Ramazan M.'s home, it was found that his mobile phone was plugged into the charger in the kitchen and a handwritten farewell note was discovered, while it was learned that he had told a friend he would be going abroad.

300 MILLION TL FROM 350 PEOPLE

Colleagues who realized they had been defrauded also filed complaints. An investigation initiated by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding Ramazan M. for the crime of 'fraud by impersonating a public official' revealed that Ramazan M. had defrauded a total of 300 million lira from 350 colleagues. The suspect, who was caught while trying to flee abroad, was released under judicial control after the proceedings.
