35 arrested as Türkiye cracks down on ‘Kuytul crime network’

In Turkey, 35 individuals, including Alparslan Kuytul and his wife Semra Kuytul, were arrested and remanded in custody on charges related to operating a criminal organization, fraud, and money laundering. The arrests are part of a broader government crackdown targeting so-called religious movements suspected of illegal financial activities. The operation, conducted on August 19, involved raids at 49 locations across six provinces, leading to legal actions against 32 suspects. Additional 24 suspects were detained following the initial operation. Authorities discovered secured rooms in the group’s administrative building in Adana, where they recovered computer equipment for forensic analysis. Kuytul, a former leader of the defunct Furkan Education and Service Foundation, has faced previous arrests for similar charges.
