THE PKK ROBBERY IN ENGLAND
It has been reported that the terrorist organization PKK which is free in its movements because of the lack of limitations on its actions, has extorted money from the Turkish citizens.
It has also been informed that the members of the terrorist organization have demanded a racket of 2,000 pounds from the Turkish owners of restaurants, supermarkets and cafes which are situated mainly in North London and since 17th October they have extorted a total of 400,000 pounds from 200 offices. It has been said that the terrorist organization members have not been giving any document in return of the money they take in fear of being caught by the English authorities.
It has been told that the people who refrained from giving rackets were subject to certain threats like “Your life as a businessman in London could end”, “Your kids could be kidnapped” or “You could be beaten to death”.
It has been noted that the terrorist organization which needs to conceal its organizational crime background is carrying out its extortion activities under the guise of “Sports, Culture and Public House”.
