"Beat & Release": Unleashed "Jako" Dog-napped but Police Sting Brings Happy Ending, in Istanbul

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 31 January 2023)

                   Thief's plea for mercy: "Too cute to resist!"

When Polina Çolak departed Istanbul on vacation she left her 

Yorkshire Terrier "Jako" in the care of a female friend.  At around 

noon on 20 January, the friend went to a park in Mecidiyeköy, 

Istanbul, with her own dog on a leash and "Jako" was unleashed.  

A man sitting on a bench in the park called to "Jako" and when 

the dog came the man scooped him up and quickly fled the park. 

Police reviewed security camera footage and identified the dog thief as

M.D., who has a police record of seven crimes.   Çolak appealed to the

thieves, saying "Jako is a part of our family.  I miss the scent so please

bring back Jako.  If you need money I'll give you 30,000 TL."  A 

respondent to this plea confirmed that he had the dog and would return

it for the money.

But Çolak informed the police about this development and a sting was

set up for last Thursday.  When the thieves arrived at the agreed-upon

exchange point with "Jako" police nabbed M.Ç. and M.A., who were 

both taken into custody, while "Jako" was turned over to Çolak.  M.Ç.

and M.A. were charged with "theft of an animal" but released (!).  As

for M.D., he is being sought by police as a fugitive. 

There's a reason for a leash.

                    No, they're not dancing in the street.

On 25 January, Turgay P. told his ex-wife Fitnet K (37) that he wanted 

to talk with her so the two agreed to meet on a street in Çağlayan,

Istanbul, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.   As the two walked and talked,

an argument soon erupted between them and Turgay P. tried to take

Fitnet hanım's phone from her hand.  When she resisted, Turgay P.

pulled out a bread knife and assaulted Fitnet hanım with it right there

on the street in broad daylight. 

However (!), although Turgay P. succeeded in grabbing Fitnet hanım's

phone, her thick coat prevented any serious injury from the stabbings.

Police then tracked down Turgay P., who has a long record of criminal

activity, brought him before a judge and he was jailed. 

Hey Turgay bey, Çağlayan is where the courthouse is...

district of Eskişehir province, got into an argument with his wife Fatma

Aslan summoned his other son Osman Aslan to his home and shot him, 

too. (!)

Aslan left his home and walked to a bus stop where he was arrested by

Aslan was taken to a hospital for treatment. 

"Beat & Release": Serenity Elusive for Businessman Immersed in Buddhism/Taoism , in Istanbul

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 27 January 2023)

           Buddhism is strictly against facial recognition.

In a court case heard in Istanbul's family court, P.E. claimed  that her 

husband of 19 years C.E., who is the Turkey sales director for a famous 

brand, was guilty of infidelity, drunkenness, fits of anger and violence

against her and their two children.  P.E. also claimed that C.E. spent a

large amount of money on lessons in Buddhism and Taoism from a 

personal development expert and took "inziva" (seclusion) trips  to 

China and India with the expert's group.

Most recently, C.E. was taking online lessons from a Chinese personal

development expert named "Master Sha" (!) and the Master's staff in

Turkey.  According to P.E., her husband continually engaged in "rituals" 

in front of their children and began to write healthful "calligraphy" 

messages in the air with his hand.  C.E. took moldy medicine that

harmed his kidneys, despite a warning from a doctor.  He confessed

to P.E. that he had been together with another women on one of his

"inziva" trips.  This was the last straw for P.E. who declared that the

marriage was beyond repair. 

C.E. responded to P.E.'s divorce suit by characterizing all her claims as 

baseless and he denied ever subjecting her and their children to violence.  

After a year in court, the case has been decided and a divorce granted 

to P.E., giving her custody of the children.  C.E.'s countersuit was 

dismissed and he was ordered to pay P.E. 500,000 TL in material 

compensation, 500,000 TL in emotional compensation, and 30,000 TL 

per month as alimony. 

                  Normal? Reverse? I'm confused.

                            Badly broken and burst.

Ankara narcotics police got a tip that Iranian drug dealers would be 

bringing a large amount of methamphetamines to Ankara from 

Istanbul for distribution by street sellers.  

The drug dealers set out from Istanbul in two cars - one a lookout.

Police followed them for 200 kilometers and stopped the lookout

just outside Ankara, taking Türk Mustafa D. and Iranian Ebrahim

Motallebi into custody. 

When the dealers in the other car, 10 kilometers back, got wind of

the lookouts' being arrested they turned around and tried to flee.

This car, with Hamit Alizadeh Silabi and Samad Chraghleh inside,

crashed into another vehicle.  Chraghleh, carrying 2.5 kilograms of

methamphetamines, started to run away but he was hit by a truck

and fatally injured.  The bag with the drugs split open and 

methamphetamines spilled onto the highway.  Meanwhile, Silabi

was also hit by a vehicle as he ran away.  He, along with Mustafa D.

and Ebrahim Motallebi were arrested.

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 24 January 2022)

                                    Indoor acid rain.

Guiaunai Roustamova, who has a textile shop in Istanbul's Fatih district,

has been in a dispute with her landlord M .Ş. for the past year and a 

half over a rent increase.  According to Roustamova, in June M.Ş. 

wanted to increase her rent from 5,000 TL to 112,000 TL or the 

equivalent of $6,000.  (!) 

When Roustamova said she could not pay that amount of rent, M.Ş.

tried several ways to force her to leave.  In July, M.Ş. cut off the

electricity to Roustamova's shop and she was forced to light her

shop with a car battery.  In September, M.Ş. drilled holes in the floor

in the flat above Roustamova's shop and poured garlic water, oil and

laundry soap down to dissuade potential shoppers from visiting her

shop. (!)

Roustamova's shop and goods were damaged by this putrid flow from 

above, to the tune of 100,000 TL.   She filed a complaint against M.Ş.,

who claimed that the rent increase Roustamova stated was wrong and

that the flow from above was the result of repairs that went awry.  

Roustramova has been renting in M.Ş.'s building since 2018 but she

said that "since September I've been victimized, and the target of his

insults and curses.  I can't run my shop anymore."

                               Something tastes funny.

Emine Gülşen Sarıcan, a Turkish chef famous abroad and in Turkey,

injured her hip and spleen in an  accident aboard the $35 million 'Royal 

Falcon One' ultra-luxury yacht belonging to Bangladeshi businessman 

M.A.Z. on 30 July 2021.  

As a result of the accident, Sarıcan met with lawyer Nihan Seda

Kişi and they reached an agreement, such that Sarıcan would pay Kişi

15,000 TL and give her 10% of the ultimate settlement received from

the yacht company.  Somehow, the company sent 10% of Sarıcan's 

salary to Kişi.

However, in her petition to the court, Sarıcan asserted that the payment

of 10% of her salary to Kişi was not proper, based on the discussions

with the company, and that "the client (Sarıcan) paid the defendant 

(Kişi) 3,000 Euros but the 4,000 Euros paid to the defendant from the

client's salary since the date of the accident is not based on any legal

reasoning.  So we want the 4,000 Euros that have enriched the 

defendant for no reason returned."

"Beat & Release": Ankara Businessman Fathered a Child at 82...Maybe

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 22 January 2023)

        A father at a great-grandfather age...or not.

Ankara businessman Yunus Ensari died last year at age 103.  Now his 

grave has been opened for a second time in connection with a paternity 

case and DNA samples taken from his remains.

According to the case file, in 1986 Ensari met Iranian Fariba Esin Ensari,

who had come to Ankara, and they married by means of an "imam nikâh"

(religious but not official) wedding ceremony.  A child name Y.E. was 

(evidently) born from this union at a time when Ensari was 82 years old. (!) 

Y.E., who is now a university student, had his lawyers Tuncay Akı and 

Alparslan Aydoğan file a paternity suit on his behalf in Ankara family

court.  Based on this suit, Ensari's grave in Gölbaşı, Ankara, was opened

on 21 October 2022 and a DNA sample was taken from his remains.  

The results showed no DNA link between Y.E. and Ensari. 

However (!), Y.E.'s lawyers filed an objection, asserting that "four or five 

leg bone parts should have been taken for the DNA report for a conclusive 

report but only one was taken during the 'fethi kabir işlemi' (exhumation)."

The court accepted the objection.  Ensari's grave was opened once

again on Friday and DNA samples taken from his remains. 

          This is only the second.  Third time's a charm.

                            Shoulda stayed in Tokat.

A family gathering mushrooms in a wooded area of Istanbul's Sancaktepe

area stumbled upon the body of a man with his hands and feet bound by

rope.  The family summoned the Gendarmerie and it was determined 

from fingerprints that the body was that of Semih Sevim, who lived in

Tokat province.  When Sevim's family was notified of their son's death

they noted that he hadn't been heard from in a while and that they had

filed a missing persons report about him. 

The Gendarmerie checked Sevim's most recent contacts and his social

media accounts, along with the PTS license plate tracking system, in 

order to determine who the killer might have been.  It turned out that

the last person Sevim had contact with was his ex-girlfriend Seçil B.,

who had sent Sevim some threatening messages on social media.  

In an ensuing operation, Seçil B. and her father C.Ç. were taken into

custody.  An amount of drugs was found in their home.  In her statement

to the Gendarmerie, Seçil B. explained that "Semih and I broke up but

he kept on bothering me.  We had a fight and I killed him. Then I asked

my father for help and we brought Semih's body to the wooded area."

Father and daughter were jailed.

Cool killer Yusuf, soup in one hand, gesturing with the other

at a soup shop in Altındağ. He had just killed five people (!). 

In Ankara's Altındağ district, the bodies of five Afghans, all of them with

their throats cut, were found in a flat on 11 November 2022 but the killer 

escaped.  Ankara police formed a "special team" to track down the 

murderer and determined that he was Afghan Muhammed Omer Yusuf 

(30).   Pictures of Yusuf at Ankara's Esenboğa Airport confirmed that 

the killer had flown to Tehran the day after the murders. 

The police "special team" tracked Yusuf to Herat in western Afghanistan,

made contact with officials there and Yusuf was arrested and jailed.  

Police learned that the murders resulted from an argument between the

Afghans about Yusuf sending money to their families in Afghanistan, for

which Yusuf took a commission percentage.  The other Afghans gave 

Yusuf 700,000 TL (about $37,000)  but when their relatives related that

they had not received the money the argument and the killings ensued.

Yusuf had first killed Esedullah Rahmi, who had rented the flat, by 

hog-tying him and cutting his throat, putting Rahmi's body under a bed.

When Serferaz Sayaz, Habibullah Cora Han, Abdul Halim Ruzi Kul and

Abdurrahman Azizi came to the flat Yusuf stabbed all of them to death.

He then went to a nearby soup shop and had himself a cup of soup. (!)

If this family didn't have bad luck, they'd have no luck at all.

A remarkable story has emerged from a divorce case and related

fatherhood claim in Ankara courts.  According to the files, Vedat Ö.

was living in a village in Çankırı province when, at 16 years of age,

he had a fight with his father and moved in with his uncle M.K.  

While there, Vedat began to have an affair with M.K.'s wife S.K.  Then, 

upon his return from military service, Vedat Ö. married M.K. and S.K.'s 

older daughter F.Ö. (!) 

The newlyweds moved to Ankara but Vedat Ö. and S.K. continued their

affair.  Meanwhile, F.Ö. gave birth to two children from Vedat Ö., who

came down with a muscle disease that prompted marital problems with

F.Ö.   In the course of the ensuing divorce case, the abovementioned

"dirty laundry" came to light.  It turned out that M.K.'s two youngest 

children's father is, in fact, Vedat Ö. (!) 

So, as a result, Vedat Ö. is both the father and brother-in-law of F.Ö.'s 

two siblings.  M.K.'s two youngest children (!),  having learned

that Vedat Ö. is their father, have filed a paternity suit against him.  

F.Ö. finally learned that her husband had had a long-running affair with 

her mother S.K. and said "during the divorce proceedings, when my

husband told me that my siblings are his children I was shocked.  My

husband had a long affair with my mother and he turned out to be my

siblings' father." (!) 

The divorce and paternity suits were filed in 2022 in Ankara and are 

continuing, with DNA test results awaited.  When M.K. learned 

about S.K.'s affair with Vedat Ö. he divorced her.
