Payments at a company in Istanbul were found to have been transferred to the bank accounts of accounting employee M. A. and other suspects. The company was determined to have suffered losses of approximately 122 million liras.
An operation was conducted to apprehend M. A. and individuals linked to the suspicious flow of money, as part of an investigation coordinated by the Gaziosmanpaşa Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Nineteen suspects, including M. A., were detained in the simultaneous operation carried out in Istanbul, Sinop and Tokat. Unlicensed pistols, a rifle and various documents were seized during searches at the addresses.
The suspects’ bank accounts were blocked. In addition, five properties and 12 vehicles were seized.
After their procedures at the police station were completed, the 19 suspects were referred to the courthouse.
