Five people living in Istanbul applied to the police with a complaint that they were defrauded by a suspect who introduced himself as a lawyer, whom they met in a restaurant.
"THEY TOLD US WE COULD BUY CHEAP WITHOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE TENDER"
The victims stated in their testimony to the police that they met the suspect in a restaurant operated by Reyhan Ş. and explained that "Reyhan Ş.'s husband had connections to buy state land that had lost its forest status at a low price." They continued their statements by saying, "After that, we met with him. He told us that he could buy state lands cheaply without participating in the tender. We believed him. However, after a while, we realized that we had been defrauded."
HE WON FIRST PLACE IN A TELEVISION COOKING COMPETITION
