The government is expected to take action against the increasing incidents of fraud and theft in digital environments, with new measures to be implemented soon.
According to a report in Türkiye Gazetesi, it is stated in the Judicial Reform Strategy Document that the provisions in the legislation regarding information technology and fraud crimes will be reorganized to enable effective combat against these crimes.
The measures to be taken against fraud and theft conducted via the internet or phone are as follows:
- The institutional capacity of public prosecutors regarding information technology and fraud crimes will be developed. Investigation guidelines will be prepared according to the types of crimes, and these guidelines will be kept up to date.
- To prevent crimes, identity verification will be mandatory for phone subscriptions. Subscription records will be updated, and lines that do not have updated records will be cut off from communication.
- A technical infrastructure will be established to immediately cancel the subscriptions of those attempting to commit fraud over the phone.
- New regulations will be made to protect the parties involved in sales conducted over the internet.
- Regulations will be made to address issues arising from confiscation and forfeiture in criminal proceedings, especially regarding fraud and theft crimes committed using banking and information systems. For example, in cases of fraud using a bank's name, measures will be taken to quickly block the other account where the stolen money from the citizen was deposited.
- In transactions such as EFT and money transfers conducted through mobile applications, verification messages will be made more secure. For instance, if a message requesting approval from the bank is received during a money transfer, a second verification system will also be used.
- Measures will be taken to increase the responsibilities of banks and electronic money institutions to prevent crimes committed by using banking or credit institutions as tools and to ensure deterrence.
