Iskele Municipality official arrested and detained for issuing fake PCR tests

The manager of Iskele Municipality Health Department, Yılcay Takar, has been arrested and detained for three days, for distributing false PCR test results to a 21-piece orchestra from Turkey, Kibris Postasi reported.

The orchestra was to back  famous artist Bülent Ersoy who was to give a concert at the Nuhun Gemisi Hotel in Bafra on Saturday night. 

Ms Bülent Ersoy was detained at Ercan Airport when it was discovered that her orchestra’s test results were falsified. Ms Bülent’s tests and those of her bodyguard were genuine and she said that she had no knowledge of the fake test results.
