Turkish authorities seize 3.9 million TL in Kuytulcular investigation

An investigation led by the Adana Chief Public Prosecutor's Office into the group known as the ‘Kuytulcular’ has revealed new details following the detention of 32 suspects, including Alparslan Kuytul, who is alleged to be the group's leader.

Authorities reported seizing 3.9 million TL in cash, along with gold and foreign currency, during a search of the residence of Muhammet Yasin B., identified as the group's social media manager. The suspects face various charges, including establishing, managing, and being a member of a criminal organization, as well as violations of the Tax Procedure Law.

Semra Kuytul, the wife of Alparslan Kuytul, has contested the findings on social media, claiming that the seized funds were not taken from their home and suggesting the footage originated from a different operation in Eskişehir. However, investigative reports indicate the assets were recovered from the social media manager's residence, with the search documented in official records.
