The resemblances were uncanny.
In Mersin, workers at a notary public office noticed that an individual tried
to have a fake power-of-attorney issued by dying his hair and shaving off
his beard in order to resemble a Turk working in Germany. The resulting
police investigation uncovered an organized crime gang that has been
acquiring information about real estate owned by Turks abroad by bribing
officials at the deeds office.
Subsequently, the gang used "doubles" (impersonators) like the above to
sell the real estate through the use of various fake documents like death
certificates, ID cards, wills, powers-of-attorney, addresses, bank accounts
and telephone lines.
As a result, police determined that 12 Turks living abroad had been defrauded
in this way. 23 of the gang members were identified and yesterday in a
police operation involving 130 policemen, including SWAT teams, iron
doors were broken down and 21 suspects were taken into custody.
