Istanbul: Bank Information Seized, 2 Million Lira Profiteering Investigated – Last Minute Turkey News
Istanbul Public Security Branch Office, Fraud Bureau, has launched an investigation following a complaint of credit card fraud. The complaint alleges that additional credit cards were issued without the consent of the bank customers.
During the investigation, it was discovered that the suspects involved in the fraud scheme had gained access to the bank and card information of the customers. They used this information to issue additional credit cards, which they later used to take out cash advances from ATMs. The suspects continued this illegal activity either until the account owners became aware of it or until the credit card limit was reached.
Upon further investigation, the Fraud Bureau teams were able to identify and apprehend two suspects, Gökhan Ö. (38) and Aykut A. (33). Gökhan Ö. was found to be involved in making telephone calls, while Aykut A. was engaged in the textile business and had a history of previous criminal records.
The investigation revealed that the suspects had accessed the account and credit card information of a total of 186 bank customers. By issuing additional cards, they managed to make a profit of 2 million Turkish liras using this fraudulent method.
After the necessary procedures were completed by the police, the suspects were taken to the courthouse to face legal action.
