During the operations, 47 people were apprehended, including Mert Orhan Ünğan, İbrahim Kurtar, Aydın Razaki, and Recep Özyıldız, who are alleged to have led the organizations.

32 people, including Orhan Üngan, nicknamed 'The Ghost', were arrested and sent to prison.

Among those arrested are two former police officers.

In the HTS records examined upon the request of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was found that police officer Görkem Özgel, who worked in a desk job, obtained personal information and forwarded it to Ömer Faruk Gezer via a communication program called İMO. Ömer Faruk Gezer then used the communication program SKY-ECC to deliver this information to Orhan Üngan, who was arrested on drug trafficking charges. As a result of the police investigation, it was revealed that Orhan Üngan made payments to the police officers under the guise of 'vacation money' in exchange for this information.

The teams, who identified the identities and addresses of 8 suspects determined to have leaked the information of some Palestinians and their companies to MOSSAD in exchange for money, apprehended 7 people in the operation they organized.

During the search of the home of İsmail K., a police officer dismissed due to FETÖ, who was among the police officers detained within the scope of the operation, 4.5 kilograms of cocaine and a precision scale were seized.
