Last week, police in Edirne followed a TIR (tractor trailer) coming
from Germany that entered Turkey through the Kapıkule border gate.
Police had a tip that the TIR was carrying narcotics and they stopped
it in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul. Instead of drugs, police found 270,000
British Sterling (about 2.3 million TL) hidden in the TIR so the driver
was taken into custody for not declaring the money at Kapıkule.
Also taken into custody was a policeman who drives for N.Y., the
police chief of Sultangazi district in Istanbul. Under questioning,
the policeman explained that "my chief N.Y. told me to meet up with
the TIR driver." Based on this information, N.Y. was transferred
from Sultangazi to Istanbul Central Police HQS at midnight on 1 May.
The next day, N.Y. was taken into custody and brought to Edirne.
Meanwhile, the TIR driver revealed under questioning that the owner
of the British Sterling was Nejat Daş, a one-time narcotics baron. Daş
was also taken into custody in Istanbul and transferred from there to
Edirne, where he and N.Y. were interrogated about the smuggled
money.
Daş WFH'd before it was fashionable.
In 1992, the boat 'Kısmetim 1', alleged to be carrying 3 tons of
morphine base, was surrounded by police in the Mediterranean Sea for
four days until the boat's crew sunk the vessel. The boat's owner was
19-year-old Derya Ayanoğlu, the daughter of murdered shipping
magnate Osman Ayanoğlu. The drugs on board the 'Kısmetim 1'
were being smuggled by Derya hanım's lover Nejat Daş and his
father Şeymuz Daş, who was murdered in a street shooting soon
afterwards.
A year later, police launched another operation, this time against
Derya hanım's 'Lucky S' ship in the Mediterranean and 2,800
kilograms of morphine base and 12 tons of hashish belonging to
the Daş family were seized. Nejat Daş was charged with loading
the drugs and planning the smuggling route and put into Sinop
Prison in 1993.
Daş was brought from Sinop to Istanbul for trial but after the first
hearing he persuaded the Gendarmerie soldiers guarding him to
let him visit his brother Vahdet Daş in the Beyazıt section of the
city. While there, Daş escaped and using a fake passport in the
name of 'Mehmet Kartal', he made his way to Ukraine and from
there to Bucharest. In 1997, Daş was caught with 14 kilograms of
heroin in Spain.
However (!), Spain refused to return Daş to Turkey and he was
released by Spanish officials in 2003 in exchange for 700,000 Euros
bail. In December of that same year, though, Daş was caught with
70 kilograms of narcotics and returned by Spain to Turkey on 15
February 2007. After serving five years in Tekirdağ F-type Prison,
Daş was released in April 2012, in exchange for 1.25 million (nearly
that much in dollars in 2012) TL.
