In Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST), a detention order was issued for 17 suspects on the allegation of manipulation in some transactions through social media. The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office initiated an investigation based on findings that there were fluctuations in trading volume and stock prices contrary to the ordinary course of life in the capital market instruments traded on BIST, and that artificial increases harmed small investors.
