Türkiye Arrests 175 Suspects in International Fraud Case Linked to Israel

Turkish Justice Minister Akın Gürlek announced on Friday that 175 out of 239 suspects had been arrested in an operation targeting an international foreign exchange and cryptocurrency fraud network linked to Israel.

The operation raided 42 call centers operated by 28 companies across Istanbul and Muğla. The network allegedly lured victims from several countries with fake investment profits and transferred their funds to overseas accounts. Transactions linked to the network reportedly reached 13 billion Turkish liras over two years, while efforts to arrest the remaining suspects are ongoing.
