Some 100,000 fake US banknotes could be circulating in North Cyprus according to police who launched a major investigation following a tip off last weekend.
Police were told that some of the notes were being 'laundered' through a Girne Casino and two men (Taner Habib and Abdulmecit Tas) were arrested soon afterwards.
Detectives examining the mobile phones of the arrested individuals found messages on Habib's mobile saying ' $100 notes were been sold for 50TL because it was claimed that the money counting machines could not detect the fake notes.
The two accused were remanded in custody for six days when they appeared in Girne Court last week Wednesday.
