This property scam saw the Grupo de Patrimonio of the Estepona police station search for a Turkish citizen and ultimately, through thorough investigations, realise that the woman they had found was a fugitive who had shot her ‘business partner’ in Turkey several years ago.
Using an Interpol warrant, the Policia Nacional arrested the woman on January 8. The following day she was brought before the Juzgada Central de Instruccion numero 4 of the Audiencia Nacional.
The Interpol warrant had requested that the woman, who was not the direct perpetrator of the shooting, was arrested for the murder of her ‘business partner’ who was killed outside a bar in Bodrum, Turkey in June 2018.
