Alihan Kuriş criminal organization under investigation in Turkey FAST-MOVING

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched a major investigation into the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization, also known as the Süleymancılar group. The probe involves charges of establishing a criminal organization, money laundering, fraud against public institutions, and tax evasion.

Authorities have issued detention orders for approximately 29 to 30 suspects and appointed trustees to 23 companies suspected of facilitating the group's financial activities. Evidence suggests the organization used logistics companies and couriers to hide cash within humanitarian aid shipments sent abroad to facilitate illicit transfers.

Witness testimonies have also brought political allegations to light. Witnesses claim the group engaged in organizational and financial activities to influence elections, specifically pressuring members to vote for the Republican People's Party (CHP). Those who refused to comply reportedly faced exclusion from student dormitories, mosques, social facilities, and other community services.
