Video: Pizza delivery boy faces 18 years in jail for 'spitting on customer's food'

The 18-year-old was filming himself spitting on the pizza before delivering it.

In a shocking CCTV footage, a pizza delivery boy in Turkey was caught spitting on a customer's order while taking selfie. The 18-year-old, named by police as Burak S., is now facing up to 18 years in jail. 
Prosecutors stated that the man was seen filming himself on his phone after he opened up a customer's pizza outside of their home and leaned over it smiling. He is then said to have walked up to customer Huseyin Alyuz's fifth-floor flat, in the city of Eskisehir in north-western Turkey, to deliver the meal.
According to a Mirror report, Burak S. was caught by customer's nephew, Cagatay Ehe, who saw him spitting on the food. He quickly informed his uncle about what had happened who in turn complained to the police and the pizza company.
"The suspect delivered the pizza to me. I opened the box and took two slices of pizza. Cagatay Efe who lives in the same building, send me a text message saying do not eat the pizza," Alyuz said.

He added, "I called Cagatay, he told me the delivery boy had spat on the pizza. When I checked the security camera footage I realised the suspect had spat on my pizza."
The criminal court has adjourned the case until next February while forensic experts assess the risk of disease from the pizza. The consumer court case is still pending.
