Major operation in the north: counterfeit money worth $103 million seized. A 42-year-old man, who is the managing director of two export companies, is suspected of being the mastermind behind this counterfeit money ring.
He is said to have exported counterfeit money to the USA in the past. The investigators suspect that the counterfeits came from a wholesaler from Turkey who used one of the man's export companies in Jübek as an interim storage facility. Four pallets containing 75 boxes of counterfeit US dollars were seized.
