Joint MOSSAD operation by MIT and Police

According to information obtained from security sources, an operation was carried out by teams from the MIT and the Istanbul Police Department's Counter-Terrorism Branch against suspects alleged to have sold information they acquired to MOSSAD.

Seven suspects were detained in the operation. It was determined that one of the suspects was former public servant Hamza Turhan Ayberk, who appeared on morning television programs, and that MOSSAD had contacted Ayberk through its agent codenamed "Victoria".

The MIT determined that Ayberk, who is stated to have worked as a private investigator, leaked information to MOSSAD in exchange for money.

It was discovered that Ayberk had formed a team consisting of individuals, including public officials, to procure information for MOSSAD, and that he had compiled information about Middle Eastern individuals and companies in Turkey upon receiving instructions.

SECRET COMMUNICATION APPLICATIONS WERE USED

Ayberk, who learned that he received training from MOSSAD in Belgrade in 2019 regarding the work to be done, was initially used by the Israeli intelligence service for simple tasks.

Under the direction of MOSSAD, Hamza Turhan Ayberk used secret communication applications and received payments in cryptocurrency to avoid appearing in official records.

In addition to leaking information, it was learned that Ayberk also engaged in threats and surveillance activities, transmitting the real-time locations of his targets to MOSSAD via tracking devices he placed on their vehicles, harassing these individuals, and occasionally issuing threats.
