A financial operation has been launched in Ankara against the 'Alihan Kuris Criminal Organization.' A detention decision was issued for 49 suspects, including Alihan Kuris. In MASAK investigations, it was determined that an amount exceeding 100 billion TL was transferred abroad through various methods via individuals and companies linked to the Alihan Kuris Criminal Organization structure; in this way, companies suspected of money laundering and related assets were seized.
A comprehensive investigation has been launched against Alihan Kuris, the leader of the Suleymanli community, and the structures associated with him. As part of the ongoing investigation, security forces have taken action, and a detention order has been issued for Alihan Kuris, who is stated to be the leader of the organization.
'100 BILLION TRY' TRANSFERRED ABROAD
In the operation organized against the criminal structure focused on economic gain, in-depth examinations conducted by MASAK experts revealed staggering figures. When the account activities of individuals and companies allegedly linked to the criminal organization led by Alihan Kuris were examined, it was uncovered that a massive amount exceeding 100 billion TRY had been transferred abroad.
COMPANIES SEIZED
Following this striking finding, judicial authorities took action. Due to strong suspicion that crime proceeds were being laundered, it was decided to seize the aforementioned companies, and all other judicial protective measures were implemented on the relevant structures.
'ISRAEL CONNECTION' CLAIMS UNDER SCRUTINY
Notable claims have also emerged regarding the international dimension of the investigation. It has been learned that MASAK and the investigating authorities are specifically scrutinizing fund transfers originating from abroad. It has been reported that teams tracing the flow of billions of liras are also conducting an in-depth investigation, within the scope of the case file, into serious claims that there were transfers linked to Israel in the account activities. Procedures for the detained suspects at the police department are ongoing.
