According to CoinMeta, and as reported by the Turkish Anadolu Agency, the Turkish Ministry of Interior stated that law enforcement authorities conducted a crackdown on online fraud in seven provinces centered around Gaziantep, arresting 12 suspects. It was found that the suspects' bank account transactions amounted to 3.2 billion Turkish lira (approximately 63.56 million US dollars). The investigation revealed that the suspects contacted their victims through social media, luring them with high returns, and used shell companies established under the guise of investment, financial, and cryptocurrency consulting services to launder the proceeds of their crimes.
