"I haven't gotten any complaints so far..."
Police in Adana received a tip that fake "zemzem" (holy water)
was being produced and sold at a depot in Seyhan district.
Following physical and technical surveillance, police determined
that depot owner Mehmet Bilal Ç. was mixing "zemzem" brought
from Mecca by TIR (long-haul trucks) drivers with regular tap
water (!).
Mehmet Bilal Ç. was bottling the fake "zemzem" and sending it
to Istanbul for nationwide distribution. On 9 January police raided
the depot and found 16,000 liters of fake "zemzem", thousands of
bottles and 300 rolls of labels for the bottles.
Suspect Mehmet Bilal Ç. has a police record of crimes such as
"intentional wounding", "threatening", "insulting" and "impeding
performance of duty". In his statement given to police after he
was taken into custody, Mehmet Bilal Ç. "explained" that
"Zemzem" water is quite popular so I wanted to make some
money off this popularity. I make almost all the "zemzem" in
Turkey. I don't think the "zemzem" is fake. So far I haven't
gotten any complaints." (!)
