Social media personality Taner Tolga Tarlacı, who is in prison in Southern Cyprus after receiving an 18-year prison sentence, claimed in a leaked audio recording that he met with Elon Musk and Donald Trump to escape prison.
Social media phenomenon Taner Tolga Tarlacı, who is behind bars due to a heavy prison sentence imposed in Southern Cyprus, leaked a new voice recording to the outside using his cellmate's phone. Tarlacı, who is pushing boundaries to regain his freedom, caused a wide stir on social media with his surprising claims in the recording.
Taner Tolga Tarlacı, sentenced to 18 years in prison for crimes he was involved in within the Greek Cypriot Administration (GCA), drew all attention again with a new message he conveyed from prison. The famous phenomenon, who frequently made headlines with his escape attempts and crises, made a name for himself this time with a voice recording in which he described prison conditions and his plans for salvation.
NAMES HE EXPECTS HELP FROM ARE A BOMBSHELL
In the voice recording allegedly transmitted outside using his cellmate's mobile phone, Tarlacı made incredible claims in order to escape from behind bars. Claiming he contacted globally recognized names to regain his freedom or to be extradited to Turkey/TRNC, Tarlacı alleged he spoke with Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Tarlacı, who did not share any concrete details about how he communicated through which channels, quickly went viral on social media with these statements. While his assertive words and the big names he mentioned for his escape plan amazed listeners, his followers and social media users commented that these declarations were nothing but unrealistic claims made under prison psychology.
It remains a matter of curiosity whether the Greek Cypriot authorities will launch an investigation into prison management and communication security following Tarlacı's latest situation in prison and the leaked voice recordings.
