According to an AFP report, which also appeared in the Turkish daily newspaper 'Hürriyet', there has been an increase in cases of fraud involving vending machines selling cigarettes and confectionery in Germany since the new Turkish lira was introduced on 1 January 2005.
Volgens een persbericht van AFP en de krant "Hürriyet" is sinds de invoering van de nieuwe Turkse lira begin dit jaar in toenemende mate sprake van bedrog bij sigaretten - en snoepautomaten in Duitsland.
