In Edirne, 15 suspects were detained in a prostitution operation conducted by the police targeting massage parlors. The salons had hidden compartments and a bell system to alert against inspections.
The Edirne Police Department's Public Order and Intelligence Branch teams, in their operation targeting massage parlors, determined that some establishments were acting outside their business activities, making prostitution offers to male individuals who came as customers, providing places for prostitution, and facilitating it, thereby obtaining unjust profits by forcing female employees into prostitution.
15 PEOPLE DETAINED
After 3 months of technical and physical surveillance, the police simultaneously conducted operations at 5 massage parlors and detained 15 suspects. It was found that one of the suspects had a confirmed prison sentence of 11 years, 1 month, and 10 days for 'robbery with multiple persons' and that a warrant had been issued for him for 'armed robbery and deprivation of liberty.'
DOCUMENTS SEIZED
During the inspections at the establishments, it was revealed that hidden compartments and a bell system had been set up against inspections. During the searches, digital materials, sexual content products, and documents assessed to be used as appointment books were seized. In relation to the operation, 29 women working in the salons were identified as victims, and statements were taken from 19 individuals who were found to have engaged in prostitution or received offers for information purposes.
