Foreign Contractor Arrested at Istanbul Airport Over Unfinished Drilling Project

Istanbul, Turkey — A foreign contractor, Mr. Mark Wanger, has been arrested at Istanbul Airport for allegedly abandoning a drilling project before its completion and attempting to leave the country without fulfilling his contractual obligations.

According to reports, Mr. Wanger, a wellsite geologist and drilling operations contractor, was awarded a project in Istanbul that was expected to be completed within two months. Sources confirmed that all necessary documents were duly signed and the contractor had been paid in full to ensure timely execution of the work.

However, investigations revealed that Mr. Wanger failed to complete the assigned project, leaving his employers with unpaid expenses and an incomplete drilling operation. Authorities apprehended him at the airport as he was allegedly attempting to exit Turkey before meeting the project’s contractual requirements.

Officials have launched a formal investigation to determine the extent of the damages and to recover the losses suffered by the contracting company. Legal proceedings are expected to follow as the case continues to unfold.
