Teams from the Istanbul Police Department's Cyber Crimes Branch, acting under the coordination of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, identified individuals who were accessing the OnlyFans platform—which remains blocked by court order—via different IP addresses to produce obscene content. The investigation was conducted under the scope of money laundering and obscenity charges.
According to police investigations, the suspects directed their followers to paid content through social media accounts with large audiences and encouraged access to obscene images both on the platform and through various instant messaging applications. It was stated that the posts were intended to increase engagement, with users paying to access exclusive content.
The police also determined that various methods were used to illegally access the OnlyFans platform, which was banned on June 7 last year.
Following technical and physical surveillance, a simultaneous operation was carried out this morning at multiple addresses in Istanbul.
A total of 17 people were detained in the operation, including individuals identified as Azranur Ay Vandan, Meltem Bakır, Gizem Avcı, Yağmur Şimşek, Öznur Güven, Cansu Bade Taş, Kübra Yurdakul, Arzu Yılmaz, Derin Gür, Dilber Doğan, Eme Nur Süder, Kadriye Değirmenci, Lina Su Özgen, Yaprak Meriç Yücel, Nisanur Kavak, Tuğçe Cansu Parlak, and Tülin Arıkoğlu.
Within the scope of the investigation, 2 companies, 10 real estate properties, and 14 vehicles belonging to the detained suspects were seized. Additionally, it was learned that suspects Ebru Arman, Ceyda Ersoy, and Eda Alboya are currently in prison, while Zeynep Alkan, Gizem Bağdaçiçek, Merve Taşkın, Burçin Erol, and Serpil Cansız are abroad.
The detainees were referred to the courthouse today following their processing at the police station. The 17 individuals brought before the court were arrested and sent to prison.
