Turkish authorities have detained 201 suspects in a nationwide operation targeting an international fraud network, according to state media reports. The arrests were carried out across multiple provinces as part of an investigation into organized financial crime.
The operation focused on a network accused of defrauding victims through fraudulent investment schemes and online scams. Prosecutors said the group operated across borders, using fake websites and social media to lure victims.
Police seized computers, mobile phones, and financial records during the raids. The suspects face charges including fraud, money laundering, and membership in a criminal organization.
Turkey has stepped up efforts against international fraud rings in recent years, coordinating with foreign law enforcement agencies. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities expect further arrests.
