Tarkan Torun sentenced to five years for IBAN fraud in Adana
Adana resident Tarkan Torun gave his bank account number (IBAN) to a man identified as Ö. K. to recover a 700 TL debt. The individual used the IBAN to receive several transfers—approximately 3,000 TL, 1,000 TL and 1,500 TL—claiming the money would be used for "sacrifices for martyr families" and presenting himself as a "commander".
Torun was charged with fraud. An initial sentence of 7 years 9 months 22 days was reduced on appeal to a final term of 5 years 2 months 15 days. He was taken into custody on 24 March, spent about four months in prison, and was released under judicial control. The conviction caused him to lose his job as a hospital cleaning worker. After his release, Torun applied for a retrial and noted that a 1,500 TL loss remains unresolved.
