17. Mrs BAYKAL collects funds via her appointees

The Turkish Red Crescent Director, Mrs BAYKAL, collects funds via her appointed person to shield her identity. In 2023, she thinks hiding her identity for an elaborate scam is straightforward. Just say someone else is using my name, and I have registered a police case. It is not that simple. Like all criminals, they don’t remember all the footprint they leave behind. One can run from the law but can’t hide. It would not have been easy to prove if it were a cash transaction. But the money transfer happened digitally. Every hub has a footprint. There is a saying: when you pull the ear, the head will move. A preemptive false police case specifying someone else is using her name – how can that hide her crime? The law enforcement authorities will discover this preemptive case is made up within a few days when they start their investigation.

Mrs Mehtap BAYKAL, The Turkish Red Crescent Society Director, collects money using 3rd parties to shield her image and hide her links to the scam operation.
