324 Million TL Suspicious Transaction in Ordu: 9 Detentions in Fraud Operation

Within the scope of the investigation conducted by the Ünye Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the Ordu Provincial Police Department Public Order Branch teams carried out a major operation against a network involved in qualified fraud and the misuse of bank/credit cards. The investigation involved an in-depth examination of the suspects' financial transactions via MASAK reports. Detailed examinations revealed that the suspects had an enormous transaction volume in their bank accounts in just the last year.

As a result of the meticulous work of the security officials, it was determined that there was a total of 324 million 67 thousand 324 TL of suspicious money inflows and outflows in the accounts of the individuals in question. The magnitude of this amount raised serious questions about the structure and scope of the criminal organization's activities, while providing strong evidence that fraud methods were systematically executed. These financial data obtained formed the legal basis of the operation, allowing for legal follow-up by the judicial authorities.

Once the evidence collected during the investigation process was sufficient, the public order teams within the Ordu Police Department pressed the button for the operation. Simultaneous raids centered in Ünye and conducted at dawn on June 30, 2026, aimed to catch the suspects by surprise. Within the scope of the coordinated operation, 12 wanted suspects were caught red-handed by police teams and detained.

In searches conducted at the residences of the detained suspects, significant numerical and digital materials regarding the nature of the crime were seized. A total of 7 mobile phones, 3 SIM cards, 1 flash memory, and 1 tablet were found during the house searches. These digital materials were taken into examination by the police to analyze their connection to the crime.

After the completion of the statement procedures at the police department, the suspects underwent forensic medical examinations to be referred to the judicial authorities. While 2 suspects whose statements were taken by the prosecutor's office were released, a release decision was made for 1 suspect subject to judicial control measures. However, 9 suspects who were brought before the court and had their statements taken by the judgeship were arrested and sent to prison, considering the nature of the fraud crimes and the state of evidence.
