Turkish organized crime and fraud crackdowns

Overview

In mid-September 2026, the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Istanbul launched investigations targeting individuals in the arts, sports, and social media sectors for facilitating drug use, blackmail, and privacy violations. These investigations led to the detention of 21 suspects, including actors Aras Bulut İynemli, Melis Sezen, and Nilperi Şahinkaya, and singer Sefo.

Simultaneously, narcotics enforcement intensified. Between September 21 and 23, Istanbul police seized over 551 kilograms of methamphetamine and detained 188 suspects. In Bağcılar, a raid on a printing shop uncovered a production site for synthetic cannabinoids capable of producing approximately 4.5 tons of ‘bonzai’.

By late September, the Ministry of Interior reported a significant rise in synthetic drug seizures, noting a 60-fold increase between 2019 and 2025. Additional operations in Turkey included the seizure of 328,000 drug pills in Mersin, 20.26 kilograms of methamphetamine at Istanbul Airport, and the arrest of three foreign nationals in Konya for attempting to smuggle methamphetamine via swallowed capsules. In Cyprus, police operations in Nicosia, Ercan Airport, and Kyrenia resulted in eight arrests and the seizure of various narcotics and a firearm.

On October 7, an indictment was prepared regarding the ‘Kütüphane’ nightclub in Istanbul, following a December 2025 operation. Business partners Yılmaz Efe and Ali Yaşar Koz are accused of facilitating drug use within the venue. The indictment cites digital evidence, including voice recordings and messages discussing the provision of substances to patrons, alongside forensic tests identifying cocaine and amphetamines.
