Police teams from the Provincial Security Directorate started an investigation after receiving complaints of fraud where individuals were contacted by phone and scammed by imposters posing as government officials.
During the investigation, the police teams identified the members of the gang who defrauded 15 individuals of a total of 11 million Turkish Lira.
After completing their work, the teams organized simultaneous operations in Malatya, as well as in Izmir, Antalya, Mersin, Gaziantep, Denizli, Adana, and Diyarbakır to capture the suspects.
During the arrests of the 15 suspects, a search of their addresses led to the seizure of 1 computer, 1 tablet, 4 phones, 2 memory cards, and digital materials.
Following the procedures at the police station, the suspects were taken to the courthouse, where 3 of them were arrested by the duty magistrate, while the remaining 12 were released under judicial control.
