MONEY MOVEMENTS IN MASAK REPORTS DRAW ATTENTION

The examinations determined that the suspects carried out high-value money movements inconsistent with their financial profiles and transferred large amounts of money among themselves. It was also noted that the suspects were found to have deposited large sums into gambling accounts to place bets, lost significant amounts of money through this method, and carried out "chain-linked title deed transfers" among themselves in a short period of time.
