Kevin O'Kane is back here in Northern Ireland walking around a free man having fled Turkey
I am currently taking legal action both in Turkey & in Northern Ireland to try & get my money back. The victims here had been told that Kevin O'Kane was not permitted to leave Turkey while the investigation continued. 20 or more victims have travelled to Turkey over the previous months to make their statements. We had been advised that a criminal trial is due over the coming months
Today 08-11 Kevin O'Kane is back here in Northern Ireland walking around a free man having fled Turkey & he is now a fugitive. We are hoping that he will be arrested soon by the Police in Northern Ireland & sent back to Turkey to face up to his crimes. I cannot understand why the Police in Northern Ireland have not arrested him already as many of the victims have contacted the police here asking for his arrest. Many of the victims here have taken on hefty mortgages to pay for these villas & we are now left paying large sums every month for villas which we do not own.
This is another blow to the Turkish Property market. I know many people who have said they would not buy in Turkey because of the fake deeds scandal & now to learn that the man at the centre of the investigation has fled the country will further deter foreign investors. Turkey is such a great country & the people are so hospitable that is why I chose to buy a villa in Turkey as opposed to other countries such as Spain.
I am too afraid to give my name for this interview. Some other victims have received intimidating phone calls that they believe came from within the O'Kane camp. After all a man that would flee a country & become a fugitive is liable to do anything. I ask the Turkish authorities to do everything in their power to help the victims.
