Members of the gang who called A.K., residing in Nevşehir, tried to gain trust by saying, "You have registered on the Jigolo website. Therefore, you have a tax debt arising from the membership contract. Enforcement proceedings have started against you. The file is currently with the mediator. If you want to pay, our mediator lawyers will contact you." Later, the gang members called A.K. again, introducing themselves as mediator lawyers.
VICTIM SENT 540 LIRA
The person claiming to be a mediator lawyer stated that the total debt of the file was 540 thousand lira, and upon saying that the file would be closed if this amount was paid, the individual transferred the requested 540 thousand lira to the specified bank account. After realizing that he had been defrauded, A.K. filed a complaint, and upon the instruction of the Nevşehir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the teams of the Pickpocketing and Fraud Department of the Nevşehir Police Department initiated an operation to capture the gang that introduced themselves as prosecutors and lawyers.
GANG TRANSFERRED MONEY TO PKK
In the investigations, it was determined that the gang, which defrauded approximately 56 people in 12 provinces using the same method, made a profit of about 10 million lira, and the money obtained was transferred to the PKK terrorist organization. The gang, led by M.D., who has an arrest warrant for membership in the PKK terrorist organization, was targeted in simultaneous operations in Eskişehir and Istanbul. During the operations, it was determined that M.D., who has an arrest warrant for membership in the PKK terrorist organization, resided in France, while 15 out of 19 individuals were detained and brought to the Nevşehir Police Department.
4 FUGITIVES WANTED
After their statements at the police station, 15 suspects were referred to the judicial authorities. Efforts are ongoing to capture the 4 fugitives.
