In Siirt, a man named İ.E. (29), who was reported missing, pretended to be kidnapped and demanded a ransom of 8 republic gold coins from his family through a message. The incident came to light through a police operation.
An unbelievable event occurred in Siirt. On November 25, it was claimed that İ.E., who lived in the center of the Kurtalan district, left his home and did not return. His family, unable to reach him, went to the Kurtalan Police Department to report him missing. Police teams initiated an investigation into the incident.
A MESSAGE WAS SENT TO THE FAMILY
After a while, a message came from İ.E.'s phone to the family, stating, "Your son is with us, pay a ransom for his release." The message also requested that the gold be left at a derelict house in the Yenidoğan neighborhood.
DEMANDED 8 REPUBLIC GOLD COINS
The family reported the situation to the police. Teams that took the messages and the phone line for technical examination began technical and physical surveillance. The district police department teams provided the family with 8 imitation republic gold coins obtained from a jewelry store.
THE ONE REQUESTING RANSOM TURNED OUT TO BE HIMSELF
While the family was leaving the gold at the specified address, police teams took precautions in the surrounding area. The suspect who came to collect the gold was caught. It was determined that the suspect was İ.E.
İ.E., who was taken to the police station, reportedly confessed to his crime, saying, "I had debts, I was forced to do this." Legal action was initiated against the suspect for 'fabricating a crime' and 'disturbing the peace and tranquility of individuals.'
