Istanbul Airport police questioned a number of individuals trying to fly
with fake travel documents and the trail of the investigation led to 
someone going by the moniker 'Doctor'.  Based on these leads, police
tracked down 'Doctor' Ömer Topsakal (49) and took him into custody.  

In a search of Topsakal's home, police found 1,000 boarding cards for
both Turkish and foreign airlines, 52 fake passports of various nations,
24 fake mariner documents, residency cards from 34 different countries,
drivers licenses from six countries, seven ID cards, stamping seals from
124 different countries, an ultraviolet device, travel documents from 
nine different nations, 28 passport ID pages and 23 visas from various
countries. 

Of the 2,400 fake travel documents, mostly passports, seized at Istanbul 
Airport over the past six months, the majority came from Topsakal (!). 
Police determined that the fake documents taken from 34 passengers on
a flight from Istanbul Airport to Nice, France, in December 2019, had
been prepared by Topsakal at a price of $2,000 each.  Topsakal has been
jailed.

 













                       The doctor has left the building.
