Turkey detains 175 linked to Israel fraud network
Turkey announced the arrest of 175 individuals out of 239 suspects involved in an international fraud network linked to Israel, targeting foreign exchange (Forex) trading. Investigations carried out by security agencies in coordination with Interpol revealed that the network's transaction volume over two years reached approximately 13 billion Turkish Lira (around 266 million US dollars). The scheme relied on call centers that promised victims unreal profits to lure them into investments. The network would then require additional payments from the victims to enable them to withdraw their profits, with the funds being transferred to accounts outside the country. Raids began in Istanbul and Mugla, resulting in the arrest of 175 suspects, with ongoing efforts to apprehend the remaining individuals involved. This operation is part of Turkey's broader efforts to combat criminal organizations that utilize technology and the international financial system to carry out fraudulent activities.
