INVESTIGATION

Under the coordination of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the Istanbul Police Department's Financial Crimes Branch conducted work to prevent crimes of "establishing an organization to commit crimes," "qualified fraud," and "laundering of assets derived from crime," as well as to apprehend suspects.

In this context, as a result of MASAK reports prepared regarding Ahbap Association employees, examination of account movements, and technical and physical surveillance work, it was determined that the suspects had high-value money movements inconsistent with their financial profiles, carried out large money transfers among themselves, transferred large sums to gambling accounts and placed bets, thus losing significant amounts of money, and also conducted numerous property title transfer transactions in a short period in a chain-like manner.

Within the scope of the investigation, 28 suspects out of 54 detained, including Ahbap Association founder singer Haluk Levent and Oğuzhan Uğur, were arrested. The assets of the association and some suspects were seized.

In the fourth wave operation of the investigation, 13 more suspects were detained.
