Hello,

The problem is that the mesh is not a 2-manifold,
that is there are edges with > 2 incident faces.
I marked those zones red in the screenshot.

What you can do: Look at the polygon soup example:
http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Polygon_mesh_processing/index.html#title27

This allows you to read a polygon soup, and to orient it.
However this will duplicate vertices and produce
a mesh with self intersections.  Some of them are
relatively easy to remove, and we work on it.

Best,

Andreas
