In the Istanbul-based investigation into illegal reproductive cell trafficking, it has emerged that Hacer T., alleged to be the organization’s leader, sent a message to a donor candidate telling her to use a menstrual-regulating medication: “You need to get your period within 3 days.” Correspondence reflected in the investigation file also included donor fees varying by country, the possibility that medications sent by cargo may have spoiled, and requests for commissions in exchange for donor referrals.
In the investigation conducted in Istanbul, it was alleged that the organization tried to plan women’s menstrual cycles, as well as their travel and payment processes, according to egg retrieval procedures abroad. The allegations emerged from the statement of Hacer T., who benefited from effective remorse, and from phone examinations.
“GEORGIA’S PAYMENT IS GOOD”
According to phone examinations in the investigation file, in correspondence between Hacer T. and a donor candidate, it was determined that the overseas trip was monitored from the ticket stage to the adjustment of the woman’s menstrual calendar. Hacer T. was seen telling the donor candidate, who said she did not have a passport, “I’ll get your passport issued,” and then using the phrase “Georgia’s payment is good.”
“THEY WANT YOU FROM GEORGIA”
In the same correspondence, it was recorded that Hacer T. suggested the woman use a menstrual-regulating medication and also told her which medication to use. It was determined that Hacer T. sent the messages “Have your period for 4 days,” “You need to have your period in 3 days,” and also said, “They want you from Georgia” and “I put you forward as a selectable patient, they approved it.”
CLAIM THAT FEES VARY BY COUNTRY
In an audio recording in the file, it emerged that bargaining was being done over donor fees. When a donor candidate said that another contact of hers had offered her 2,000 euros, Hacer T. objected, saying, “I send girls constantly.” Arguing that it was not possible to make payments at this level in Cyprus, Hacer T. used the expressions, “Georgia and America pay more, 3,500.” In the same conversation, it was reflected in the records that the donor candidate tried to increase the price by saying she had colored eyes, had O Rh-negative blood type, and that an average of 50 eggs could be obtained at one time.
MEDICATIONS MAY HAVE DETERIORATED
In Hacer T.’s WhatsApp correspondence, it was understood that concerns were raised that the medications used in the treatment of donor women might have deteriorated during the shipping process. The person who received the shipment was seen saying, “There was ice in three boxes, but it had melted inside.”
COMMISSION FOR REFERRING A DONOR
The file also included a commission request from a woman who said she had previously referred a donor to Hacer T. The woman, stating that she was experiencing financial difficulty, sent the message, “I sent a girl to you, you were going to give me a commission for that; I’m a bit strapped, is there any chance you can send it today?” In a separate group correspondence, it was seen that a person stated she could continue referring new donor candidates by saying, “Exactly, if I get a good payment, I’ll continue too, and I’ll pass the girl on.”
“I COVER MY LIVING EXPENSES WITH THE MONEY I GET FROM DONOR WORK”
Hacer T., who stated that she started working at an early age, said in her statement, “I had to deal with everything alone; I cover my living expenses with the monthly salary I receive from the company I work for and the money I get from donor work.”
LEBANON, DUBAI, AND KOSOVO CLAIM
Hacer T.’s statement revealed that the organization might have extended beyond the known Cyprus, Georgia, and Albania route. Hacer T., who said that Emine Ç. started her in this business, claimed that Emine Ç. had been doing this work for 12 years and sent women donors to “countries such as Cyprus, Georgia, Albania, Lebanon, Dubai, and Kosovo.”
