Within the scope of the investigation initiated by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was determined that the suspects convinced victims that they were investing in companies that would soon be going public and collected money from them.

It was discovered that the suspects, in order to gain trust, initially made it appear as though small investments were generating profits and made payments for a period, after which they defrauded the victims by demanding larger sums. Furthermore, it was revealed that numerous company accounts were used during this process.

As of March 24, 2026, detention orders were issued for a total of 65 suspects in operations carried out in coordination with the Fraud Bureau of the Ankara Provincial Police Department's Public Security Branch.
