Turkey.- Authorities in Turkey have issued detention warrants for 72 suspects as part of a large-scale investigation into an alleged illegal betting network centred in the southern province of Antalya. The Antalya Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office says bank transactions totalling TRY3.4bn (US$77.5m) have been linked to the group.
The provincial police’s cybercrime unit has said that a combination of technical and physical surveillance led to the identification of three offices in Antalya allegedly used to operate illegal betting. Teams traced connections to 56 suspects in Antalya and 16 others across seven additional provinces.
Acting on instructions from prosecutors, law enforcement launched coordinated raids at multiple addresses in eight provinces. Searches and detention procedures were still ongoing at the time of reporting.
The operation forms part of a broader national effort to tackle illegal online betting and supporting financial infrastructure. In recent months, Turkish prosecutors have targeted payment platforms, electronic money institutions and cryptocurrency channels suspected of facilitating illicit betting transactions, while regulators have also moved to suspend or revoke the licences of companies allegedly connected to money laundering.
