Teams from the Ankara cybercrime branch organized an operation against the criminal network that made illegal bets on the Internet and thus made unfair profits.
As a result of 3 months of technical and physical monitoring, simultaneous operations were carried out in the provinces of Ankara, Istanbul, Yalova, Kastamonu and Bayburt. 31 people of the 40 suspects for whom an arrest warrant was issued were arrested and detained.
Suspicious organization member ST and HE, who was the organization’s leader in the operation, were caught by Ankara police along with 5 million lira in cash, precious metals and valuable documents transported in 3 suitcases, which were discovered they had won an illegal bet in Istanbul with their luxury vehicle.
They tried to lose track of the money through the bank
A large number of digital materials and organizational documents were seized in the records of the suspects’ homes and workplaces.
They tried to lose track of the money by transferring the money from the illegal gambling of the organization to 116 bank accounts of 29 people, which they rented to third parties, carrying out the money transfer by establishing companies on them and transferring the money to the accounts of different people showing them as income earned for business purposes through these companies.
The largest amount of cash seized in illegal gambling operations
It was determined that the organization’s leader, SBK, used the organization’s cells in Istanbul as safes and invested a certain part of the money in precious metals.
After the interrogation of the suspects detained at the Ankara Cyber Crimes Branch Directorate, 11 suspects, including the alleged leader and senior executives of the organization, were transferred to the Ankara Main Office.
The seized money was found to be the highest cash seized in an illegal gambling operation to date.
