Istanbul police have dismantled a large-scale fraud network that used artificial intelligence technology to run fake investment scams, defrauding millions of Turkish lira. The operation, conducted by the Istanbul Cyber Crimes Department, resulted in the arrest of 72 suspects involved in promoting fraudulent investment advertisements on social media, promising high returns. The network laundered stolen funds through 41 shell companies to a cryptocurrency exchange in Cambodia. Earlier, a separate criminal group involved in deceiving thousands with fake job offers such as home soap and sock packaging was also apprehended, with 30 suspects detained and approximately 100 million Turkish lira in illicit gains uncovered. Additionally, Hong Kong police arrested five individuals linked to phone scams totaling HK$480,000.
