Haluk Levent detained in Bursa as part of the Ahbap Association investigation

Within the scope of the investigation launched by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against the Ahbap Association, an arrest warrant was issued for Haluk Levent. It was learned that Levent was detained in Bursa while traveling towards İzmir. The investigation has brought to light important details regarding the activities and financial operations of the said association.

According to the allegations, Levent went to the airport to leave the country and had bought a ticket to Germany. However, upon learning about the travel ban imposed on him, he reportedly turned off his phones and continued on his journey. This dimension of the incident is considered among the factors that have broadened the scope of the investigation.

Among the prominent allegations in the investigation file is the claim that 990 million liras were bet between 2020 and 2026, and 390 million liras were lost during this period. Additionally, assessments were made indicating that 120 million liras were transferred from the association's account to the account of his assistant, Yeliz Kaya. These financial movements stand out as notable findings by the prosecutor's office.

It was stated that the investigation conducted by the authorities involves the crimes of 'laundering of assets derived from crime', 'violation of the Associations Law', and 'membership in a criminal organization'. Due to the repercussions of the incident on the Turkish agenda and the association's activities nationwide, the details of the matter are being closely monitored.
