Alihan Kuriş: Massive operation targets criminal organization FAST-MOVING

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 spanned 17 provinces, including Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya, targeting 43 residential addresses and 80 locations linked to 33 companies.

Authorities have detained 30 suspects, including Kuriş, as part of a broader investigation involving 49 total suspects. The charges include establishing and managing a criminal organization, money laundering, defrauding public institutions, and tax law violations. Financial analysis by MASAK revealed that over 100 billion TL was transferred abroad through various methods using companies linked to the organization.

In response to the suspected money laundering, authorities have appointed trustees to several companies and seized their assets. The investigation is also examining unusual financial activities, such as significant increases in transaction volumes since 2020 and complex corporate restructuring used to obscure financial trails.
