Reactions have been provoked in the occupied territories by the revelation that some were selling fake vaccination certificates, Adapass, and that it was a circuit.
In the case, 2 people were arrested yesterday, a female employee of the company that runs the Adapass system and a male "policeman". Today it became known that another 3 people were arrested. One of the three cited a state of emergency that forced him to engage in such a thing.
All 3 were released with 15,000 TL (approximately 1,365 euros) pending the trial of the case.
It is noted that yesterday the "police" had announced that they were looking for 9 people.
The director of the company that manages the Adapass system, Duigu Eroglu, said they are ready to work with the "police" to fully solve the case.
The arrested employee of the training and consulting firm Global Development yesterday was responsible for entering the data in the system for both PCR tests and AdaPass. Issued forged certificates to non-vaccinated people for the amount of 650 TL (approximately 60 euros).
According to the MEO, suspects face charges of "circulation of a forged official document" and "forgery", which is considered a serious offence and carries a heavy punishment.
"Apart from committing an offence, the issue of the fake AdaPass negatively affects our community, as talks continue at a technical level to apply AdaPass during the crossings with the south," the kipris newspaper notes, adding that Greek Cypriots are looking for the opportunity to present the system that exists in the occupied territories unreliable.
After all, Avrupa describes the case as the "AdaPass Scandal" and writes that the "police" do not seem very willing to conduct an investigation. "He arrested the employee of the company, but did not touch the owner and manager of the company," he notes, adding that the forgers sold forged certificates and won a lot of money.
The newspaper reports that the arrested employee is Jemalier Mutlu and that the director of the Global Development Education and Consulting Society is Duigu Eroglu-Pechlivan, wife of journalist Alihan Pehlivan, a protégé of Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar and "health minister", Unal Oustel.
"Did the arrested employee of the company Jemalier Mutlu do this forgery on her own? Did he sign and sell AdaPass without the director's signature?" asks the newspaper, recalling that avrupa's owner and editor-in-chief are held responsible for all articles published in it and are immediately arrested by the "police".
According to the publication, while Jemalier Mutlu was being brought before a "court", Alihan Pehlivan and his wife were sitting in the garden of the "ministry of health".
