Diyarbakır fraud ring bust: 27 suspects detained

Turkish authorities carried out a coordinated operation across six provinces, centered on Diyarbakır, to dismantle an organized fraud network that exploited the names of public institutions. The Interior Ministry, Jandarma General Command, MASAK and local prosecutor's offices arrested 27 individuals. Financial investigations revealed roughly 1 billion Turkish lira in suspicious account activity. The suspects allegedly used NGOs, federations and confederations to lure victims, promising jobs in state bodies, out‑of‑lot housing from TOKİ, weapon permits, removal of traffic fines, overseas travel and other official services. Legal proceedings against the detainees are ongoing.
