BANK ACCOUNTS AND RELATED INDIVIDUALS WERE EXAMINED

Istanbul Police Financial Crimes Unit officers closely monitored numerous individuals as part of the investigation conducted by Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office. MASAK reports extensively examined the bank account activities of influencers and the individuals they were connected to. Yesterday morning, an operation was carried out against beauty center owner Neslim Güngen and her husband İnanç Güngen, who frequently shared images of luxury consumption on their social media accounts.

OPERATION CONDUCTED AT 134 ADDRESSES

Following the efforts of the financial teams, an operation was carried out at 134 addresses in 25 provinces, resulting in the detention of Neslim Güngen, İnanç Güngen, and numerous other individuals on charges of "Establishing an Organization with the Intention of Committing a Crime, Money Laundering, Forgery of Official Documents, and Aggravated Fraud."

'COLLAGEN THREAD TREATMENT' PERFORMED WITH YARN

According to the details revealed during the operation, fake craftsmanship certificates were issued in Ankara for 2,000 liras, and these certificates were sold to franchisees for 20,000 liras. It was determined that most of these franchisees did not have registered documents in the system. It was also found that ordinary yarns with no special features were used to label ordinary moisturizing creams purchased from supermarkets as "collagen thread treatment" or "rejuvenation thread treatment" for marketing purposes.

1.5 BILLION LIRA ACCOUNT ACTIVITY DETECTED

During the investigations, it was discovered that high amounts of money were demanded from individuals who wanted to make franchise agreements under the name of naming rights, and these payments were made through the transfer of movable or immovable properties rather than through banks. It was also determined that there was a 1.5 billion lira account activity between the companies managed by Neslihan Güngen and İnanç Güngen.

After these phone calls were detected through technical surveillance, the tax inspector was also included in the operation. The tax inspector was arrested at the hotel where she was on vacation and brought to Istanbul.
