I took out a court case against a Turkish man who had conned me while buying a house in Turkey.

The court ruled in my favour in January. I've been asked by my lawyer however to pay the court fees for the man I'm suing as the Tax Office can't extract the money from him.

My lawyer then says the baliff's office in Turkey will be able to seize this man's assets and I will get my money.

This all sounds very strange to my Irish ears. I keep questioning my lawyer about it but he is not answering my questions.

Firstly, is my lawyer being straight with me? Is this the law in Turkey?

Secondly, am I likely to get my money back? I can't help feeling that the time period involved will have enabled this man to get his money out of Turkey.

I am very unsure what to do so I would be very grateful for any advice you have for me
