In Istanbul, a taxi driver scammed the Putinist Valeriya: how 12 thousand dollars were returned

The driver tried to process the payment, but the transaction did not go through, while the cost of the trip was significantly inflated. Looking at the amount after payment revealed substantial discrepancies, prompting Yosif to take a photo of the car before the taxi driver drove away.

The Putinist singer Valeriya and her husband Yosif Prigozhin suffered in Turkey, where they were caught by a ride in Istanbul. The taxi driver requested that the Russians pay for the trip in advance with a card, to which the couple agreed. This was reported by 'Glavkom' citing the Telegram channel Mash.

After this, the artists contacted the police, where they were recognized, and the taxi driver was quickly located. After the intervention of law enforcement, the driver was forced to apologize and return the entire amount, which turned out to be significantly more than it should have been.

The incident that happened to singer Valeriya and her husband in Turkey is another example of how important it is to be cautious in foreign countries. In airports and hotels, and now in taxis, one should always be attentive and not trust strangers.
