The international investor fraud case uncovered in Turkey is receiving extensive coverage in the country, with Israel and the Israeli suspects at the center. Turkish authorities officially define it as an international network linked to Israel, and some Turkish media outlets go a step further, connecting it to the Mossad. According to the official update, 201 suspects have been arrested, including nine Israeli citizens, with two more reported later. The detainees have been accused of running a forex and crypto fraud network worth billions of dollars, by presenting fictitious profits to foreign investors. The authorities seized assets worth approximately 1.5 billion Turkish lira (about $31 million), along with 80 vehicles and 12 real estate properties. The newspaper 'Yeni Şafak' published a prominent headline: "A gang like the UN: 20 countries in the Mossad fraud network." 'Takvim' also uses particularly harsh language, describing the organization as an international fraud network directed by Israel.
