Wedding invitations being prepared in the prison print shop.

In Konya's Ereğli district, the inspectors for a private bank suspected 

that bank worker Perihan Y. (37) had embezzled funds.  As the probe

deepened, the inspectors discovered that Perihan hanım had shuffled

a bit more than 37 million TL (about $1.1 million) into her own and

her fiancé Settar A.'s bank accounts in the course of three months. (!) 

Both Perihan hanım and Settar bey were taken into custody yesterday.

It turned out that Settar bey had transferred a portion of the embezzled

money to his crypto money account.  After processing, they were both

jailed. 

These things happen even in the middle of nowhere!
