Turkish authorities have conducted extensive operations targeting the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) across multiple provinces, resulting in hundreds of arrests and detentions. Initial coordinated investigations by the Istanbul and Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Offices led to detention orders for 176 military personnel, including 174 active-duty soldiers. Over the following weeks, operations expanded nationwide: 361 suspects were apprehended across 46 provinces, and in Istanbul alone, 65 of 95 detained suspects, including active military officers, were remanded in custody. Further operations by the gendarmerie in 30 provinces resulted in 156 arrests, with 65 suspects detained. More recently, a large-scale operation centered in Izmir and covering 60 provinces targeted FETÖ's financial networks, leading to detention orders for 371 suspects, of whom 231 have been arrested. This operation included the seizure of the Hakmar and Tatbak supermarket chains, with 26 individuals detained and trustees appointed to these companies. Additional coordinated actions over 64 provinces in the last two days resulted in 306 arrests. Separate law enforcement efforts have also addressed organized crime and migrant smuggling, with 74 suspects arrested in 10 provinces and 32 migrant smugglers along with 572 irregular migrants detained nationwide. In Istanbul, the "Huzur Istanbul" security operation led to the arrest of 399 suspects. Authorities have also uncovered FETÖ's financial activities linked to a "food parcel" fund through a major operation by the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya has provided updates on these ongoing efforts, emphasizing the scale and geographic breadth of the operations against FETÖ and related criminal networks.
