Turkish fugitive impersonates woman for 8 years
Turkish authorities successfully apprehended a wanted man after eight years of search—Tugrul Baskar, who fled in 2018 after being sentenced to prison following convictions for theft and impersonation of an official. Baskar made significant changes to his appearance and used his sister's identity throughout his years in hiding, including disguising himself as a woman and using her ID card to move around Istanbul. Despite these efforts, police were able to track his movements by analyzing purchase transactions made with credit cards linked to his sister, and by monitoring his movements and places of residence. They ultimately located him in the Kadikoy area, where he was recently arrested after an eight-year chase. This operation is considered one of the longest manhunts in Turkey and highlights how detailed tracking methods—such as monitoring daily purchases and living movements—can overcome attempts to change appearance and identity.
