Dogan Alagoz, one of Turkey's most notorious drugs barons, has managed to escape the clutches of the country's prison system - and caused huge embarrassment to its legal system in the process.
Alagoz was released from Silivri prison in Istanbul on 16 January, after an accomplice sent a fake fax bearing the insignia of the Turkish appeal court, ordering the convict's release.
