NY citizen detained in Turkey

By Kathy Ramsay Mar 31,2022

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm trying to confirm a US citizen detained in Istsnbul Turkey. His name is Victor Sebastain, male 61, dob 2-17-61, I think. I'm told he's from Queensbury, NY.
I'm being told he was detained by customs for traveling with an excessive amount of cash that had not been declared. I'm also told that his US attorney along with his appointed Turkish lawyer negotiated a fine which I'm told has been paid but I'm told the police are demanding additional money for his release. I was also told he contacted the US Embassy for help.
I look forward to hearing from someone as soon as possible as to the status of Mr. Sebastain.


Thanks,
Kathy Ramsay
