Israeli-linked fraud network dismantled in Türkiye

Turkish authorities have arrested 175 suspects in a coordinated operation against an alleged Israeli-linked international fraud network. The network reportedly defrauded foreign nationals through fake forex and cryptocurrency investment schemes, using call centers in Turkey and involving 28 companies. The operation, conducted simultaneously at 286 locations across Istanbul and Muğla, involved Interpol assistance and was based on financial records analyzed by Turkey’s Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), alongside intelligence and victim complaints. The scheme allegedly targeted victims in Europe, the Far East, and Africa, transferring around 13 billion Turkish Liras ($266.4 million) over two years. Suspects used multilingual representatives and fabricated profit displays to lure victims into making additional deposits, with withdrawals blocked under false pretenses.

The network reportedly generated around $266.4 million in transactions over two years before being disrupted.
