In Kadıköy, Istanbul, on January 31, 2024, fraudsters who called retired citizen A.G. on the phone introduced themselves as police officers and prosecutors and had him send 1 million 500 thousand TL to IBANs belonging to 11 people they provided, using the lie that 'there is an investigation against you.'

When retired A.G. realized he had been defrauded, he went straight to the Kadıköy District Police Department.

After A.G.'s statement was taken there, the teams from the Fraud Bureau of the Public Security Branch Directorate launched an investigation into the suspects.

The police, who contacted the banks, reached the information of the account holders. In the operation carried out the day before yesterday, 11 people who were the owners of the accounts were detained.

The suspects, who were learned during their interrogations that they were not the fraudsters themselves but had only rented out their accounts, were referred to the prosecutor's office. 10 people who were referred to the court after their statements at the prosecutor's office were arrested and sent to prison.
