Turkey detains 175 over Israel-linked fraud
Turkey announced the arrest of 175 individuals out of 239 wanted persons, as part of a campaign against an international fraud network linked to Israel that operates in foreign exchange trading (Forex). According to Justice Minister Akın Gürlek, investigations revealed that most of the owners and beneficiaries of these companies are connected to Israel. The network used call centers to lure victims, offering them fake profits from Forex and cryptocurrency investments. It then demanded additional payments under the pretext of account freezes and taxes, transferring the funds abroad. Over the course of two years, the network's operations amounted to approximately 13 billion Turkish Lira (around 266 million US dollars). Raids were conducted in Istanbul and Mugla, resulting in the detention of 175 wanted individuals so far, with operations ongoing. Turkish authorities reaffirm their determination to combat criminal organizations that leverage technology and the international financial system to commit fraud and forgery.
