Turkish authorities have apprehended 174 individuals suspected of operating a large-scale financial fraud scheme, targeting victims through fake investment opportunities. The operation, which involved raids on 25 companies, 40 call centers, and financial offices across Turkey, aimed to dismantle a network that allegedly defrauded individuals by convincing them to invest in financial markets.
According to reports, the suspects operated call centers to contact potential victims, obtaining their personal and banking information. This data was then allegedly used to steal funds and assets, including through hacking customer passwords. The operation also reportedly involved seizing assets linked to the criminal activities, valued at approximately 1.5 billion Turkish Lira, along with 80 vehicles and 12 properties. Bank accounts, crypto assets, and company-linked accounts were also frozen.
Among those detained are nine Israeli citizens. However, details regarding their specific roles within the network or their connections to the targeted companies remain unclear.
