An operation was carried out in the Alanya district of Antalya against a gang that defrauded a person of millions of liras by promising high earnings via social media. Two of the six suspects detained in connection with the incident were arrested and sent to prison.

The Trap Set Through an Investment Ad

A citizen named Y.A., living in Alanya, contacted the phone number in an investment ad that appeared on social media platforms. The victim, who transferred a total of 3 million 300 thousand liras to different bank accounts upon the suspects' instructions, later realized he was defrauded and applied to the authorities.

Simultaneous Raid by the Gendarmerie

Acting upon the instructions of the Alanya Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the Antalya Provincial Gendarmerie Command teams initiated technical and physical investigations targeting individuals committing qualified fraud through informatics systems. Following the studies, the identity and address information of the suspects were determined, and a simultaneous operation was carried out.

Judicial Process and Arrests

The six suspects caught and detained in the operation were referred to the courthouse after completing their procedures at the gendarmerie. Two of the suspects who appeared before the judge were arrested, while judicial control decisions were applied to four suspects named P.Y., K.A., F.A., and B.S.
