A replica of the Torah, estimated to be round 700 years outdated, was seized by provincial gendarmerie groups within the Bulancak district of Giresun on Thursday.
Acting on a tipoff concerning the manuscript’s sale, gendarmerie groups detained an individual recognized by the initials I.M.P. who needed to promote the historic relic for $1.5 million. During the interrogation on the District Gendarmerie Command, it was revealed that the suspect introduced the 700-year-outdated Torah from Istanbul to the Bulancak district of Giresun to promote it.
It was reported that the Torah manuscript has been handed over to the Giresun Museum Directorate and an investigation into the incident is at present underway.
