FETÖ operations in numerous provinces! Trustees appointed to HAKMAR and TATBAK

A comprehensive operation targeting FETÖ's financial structure was conducted. The National Intelligence Organization, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Istanbul Police Department's Financial Crimes Branch conducted simultaneous joint operations in nine provinces, centered in Istanbul, as part of the investigation.

A total of 26 people were detained in the operation, including ZD, the owner of the HAKMAR and TATBAK supermarket chains with approximately 800 branches, who allegedly financed the organization, CG, who was dismissed from police duty and allegedly distributed the organization's financial activities, and 24 people who received financial aid.

Those detained in the Istanbul-based Dawn operation are reportedly financially active. A search of the home of ZD, the owner of both brands, reportedly yielded materials linked to the organization.

It was reported that ZD received instructions from the organization’s foreign structure and regularly transferred money to organization members in Turkey in this direction.

In the investigation, it was determined that the HAKMAR Group of Companies was used as a source, and it was reported that ZD employed people with a record of FETO membership in the market.

As part of the operation, searches were conducted at the companies' headquarters.

During searches conducted at the headquarters building in Sancaktepe, it was noted that there were many interlocking coded doors in the building, that security was maintained at a high level, and that organizational meetings were held there.

DISMISSED POLICE OFFICER WAS BEING FOLLOWED According to the information received, dismissed police officer CG was being followed for a long time and it was stated that this person was working illegally in HAKMAR and was traveling from city to city on the instructions of ZD and distributing money to members of the organization.

It was determined that CG provided cash aid to expelled individuals who were part of FETÖ's secret structures and their close relatives.

TRUSTEE APPOINTED Within the scope of the investigation, it was decided to appoint trustees to HAKMAR and TATBAK.

ANOTHER OPERATION BASED IN IZMIR

As part of an investigation into FETÖ, coordinated by the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, detention warrants were issued for 371 people. A simultaneous operation was launched in 60 provinces around 5:00 a.m. against the individuals detained. Numerous people were detained in the operation.

On the other hand, it was learned that the individuals who were subject to detention orders were collecting financial support in the form of TL, dollars or gold by making it appear as if food was sold to people who were in the country or abroad and who had previously been prosecuted for being members of FETO or their first-degree relatives. These collected funds were sent as food parcels to people they determined and who were also members of the organization.
