Swashbuckling pimp.
Sabri Çelebi first gained infamy as "Palalı Sabri" (Sabri with scimitar)
during the disturbances at Gezi Park in Istanbul in 2013. He lived in
Miami for a while and is back in the news now because of a noteworthy
investigation that is underway. Çelebi is charged with forcing Moroccan
women into prostitution at his nightclubs in Istanbul, which were raided
by police on 10 September.
The raids occurred at 3 o'clock in the morning and Çelebi's brother
Mehmet Emin Çelebi (25) was taken into custody along with six other
people. At the Opera Club Pera nightclub in Beyoğlu, owned by the
Çelebi family, 45 Moroccan women (!) were taken into custody. Another
17 Moroccan women were arrested at Çelebi's other nightclubs and all
62 women were sent to the Illegal Immigration Task Force-Border Gates
Directorate building in Pendik, Istanbul.
Her majesty, in happier days.
In his statement to police, Mehmet Emin Çelebi asserted that he was
being slandered and that the women were customers (!) at his nightclub.
One of these 'customers' was Fatima Zahra El Guiraa (24) who was
chosen as the Africa Beauty Queen in 2015. She told her lawyer that
"I live in Turkey. I have a boyfriend who is a businessman. I don't
know these people (Çelebi's). I just went there to have a good time."
Five Istanbul policemen involved in the Çelebi investigation were also
arrested. The police are charged with demanding $100,000 from the
spouse of a Chinese national arrested in the raid for the release of his
wife. One of the policemen arrested is Serkan Gül, who lead the police
team investigating the Çelebi's. (!)
An Istanbul court had Mehmet Emin Çelebi, Vedat Özbağ (47) and
Mahmut İlter (31) jailed for "establishing a criminal organization and
engaging in human trafficking." The Celebis' accountant İlknur A.,
driver Engin A. and Kenan T. were released on judicial supervision.
Just ask for Rick.
