Arrest in Kyrenia for Alleged Witchcraft and Passport Fraud
In a surprising turn of events, a 43-year-old woman from Kyrenia has found herself in the custody of the Turkish Cypriot police. The arrest, which took place on Tuesday, was the result of allegations that the woman engaged in the practice of “witchcraft” and defrauded individuals with the promise of securing a Republic of Cyprus passport.
According to the authorities, the arrested woman claimed to have connections within the Republic and assured two individuals that she could obtain Cypriot identity documents for them. For her services, she charged a substantial fee, amounting to €3,600. However, the promised passports were never delivered.
The case took an even more peculiar turn as the police disclosed that the woman was also accused of “making false statements” and practicing “witchcraft.” While the nature of these practices was not detailed by the officials, it is alleged that she received payments for these acts as well.
The investigation by the Turkish Cypriot police is actively underway as they delve deeper into the accusations. The community awaits further details as the authorities continue to unravel the extent of the alleged crimes and the methods employed by the woman to convince her victims of her supposed abilities and influence.
This incident has sparked conversations among locals about the vulnerability of individuals seeking citizenship solutions and the importance of vigilance against fraudulent schemes. The Turkish Cypriot police are urging citizens to report any suspicious activities and to rely only on official channels for matters relating to identity and citizenship.
