Prosecutors in Düzce have arrested four suspects following a multi-city investigation involving Düzce, Bursa, and Tekirdağ. The operation targeted a group, which allegedly included an enforcement manager and legal clerks, accused of using forged seals and stamps to illicitly transfer money from enforcement files to third parties. The suspects are accused of identifying inactive enforcement files containing unclaimed citizen funds and using forged seals to simulate official notifications. This allowed them to transfer funds belonging to citizens who had not collected their debts for long periods to unauthorized third parties. Charges include embezzlement, forgery of official documents and seals, and fraud through the use of public institutions. Recent updates indicate that the Düzce Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has detained five suspects in connection with this illegal scheme. The four individuals currently arrested face additional charges of establishing a criminal organization, alongside the previously noted allegations of fraud and forgery of official documents. The case remains part of a broader series of law enforcement operations in Turkey targeting financial crime and corruption.
