‘People’s Money Is Not a Game’: MP Raises Turkey Apartments Case
More than 400 apartments in Turkey were allegedly sold to Bahraini citizens by a local real estate company, but the properties do not exist, MP Hamad Aldoy said.
According to Aldoy, when buyers began seeking refunds, the company closed and changed its name, giving the impression that the matter had ended.
“Anyone who thinks that closing a company and renaming it lets him escape people’s rights is mistaken,” Aldoy said, stressing that Bahrain is a country governed by law and that “people’s money is not a game.”
The MP has called on those affected to contact him so the number of cases can be established, the claims documented and the matter followed up.
The company involved has not been identified, and the allegations have not been tested before a court.
However, Aldoy pointed to provisions in the Penal Code concerning fraud. The law treats it as fraud when a person obtains movable property, a document or a signature through fraudulent means, including by using a false name or capacity. It also applies to anyone who disposes of property while knowing that they do not own it.
