OT: Schräge Meldung aus Istanbul

Habe leider noch keine deutsche Quelle gefunden:

»Turkish state news agency Anadolu on Wednesday reported that authorities at Istanbul Airport had arrested a diplomat from the US Consulate in Lebanon after they had supplied a passport in their name to a Syrian national seeking to travel to Germany.

Turkish authorities say the American was detained on November 11, after passport control flagged the diplomatic passport presented by the Syrian as suspicious.

Surveillance camera footage, say authorities, captured images of the two exchanging clothes, the passport, and an envelope. When the diplomat was detained, authorities found that the envelope contained $10,000 (€8,840) in cash. […]

The US State Department later on Thursday acknowledged that a US citizen had been arrested in Turkey, but denied that he is a diplomat.

"We are aware of the detention of a US citizen in Turkey. The individual is not a US diplomat. We are providing appropriate consular services," a State Department spokesperson said in a statement. «
