Alihan Kuriş and criminal organization targeted in 17-province operation

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched a large-scale operation against a criminal organization allegedly led by Alihan Kuriş, associated with the Süleymancılar group. The operation, spanning 17 provinces including Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya, involved searches at 43 residential addresses and 80 locations belonging to 33 companies.

Authorities have issued detention orders for 49 suspects, with 30 individuals, including Kuriş, already taken into custody. Investigations are focusing on charges including establishing and managing a criminal organization, money laundering, defrauding public institutions, and tax law violations. Notably, former HSK member Prof. Dr. Ahmet Gökçen was among those detained.

A Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) report indicates that over 100 billion TL was transferred abroad through companies linked to the organization. In response to suspected money laundering, authorities have appointed trustees to several companies and seized various assets. During searches, law enforcement also recovered unlicensed firearms, ammunition, and significant amounts of cash.
