A major blow was dealt to the "Altunlar" criminal organization, which had been terrorizing Antalya through illegal activities and illicit gains.

LED BY NECDET ALTUN
Teams from the Antalya Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime (KOM) Branch Directorate closely monitored organized crime groups conducting illegal activities across the province. Following technical and physical surveillance, the armed criminal organization known as "Altunlar" in the region, assessed to be led by Necdet Altun and aimed at profit, was fully exposed.
EXTENSIVE CRIMINAL RECORD: ATTEMPTED MURDER, ROBBERY, USURY...
The investigation also revealed the suspects' crime map. It was determined that gang members committed numerous serious crimes, including establishing an armed criminal organization, drug trafficking, threats and qualified robbery using the organization's intimidating power, money laundering, attempted premeditated murder, usury, operating illegal gambling, and illegal possession of weapons.
DAWN COORDINATED RAIDS: 63 DETAINED
Within the scope of the investigation, it was understood that 22 of the total 91 identified suspects were already in prison for other crimes. Teams pressed the button to capture the remaining 69 suspects, conducting coordinated raids on predetermined addresses at 6:00 AM. During the operation, 63 suspects were caught red-handed and taken into custody, while one person was determined to be abroad. Efforts to capture the 5 fleeing suspects continue.
WEALTH AND WEAPONS FOUND IN HOMES
Searches conducted at the suspects' residences and workplaces yielded what can be described as a small arsenal and fortune. Items seized included 7 pistols, 1 rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and cartridges, as well as 1 sword, 1 machete, 2 axes, and 1 knuckle duster. Additionally, 12 POS devices, foreign currency and cash worth thousands of lira, checks, promissory notes, and 1 fake press card, believed to be proceeds of crime, were confiscated.
