It emerged with the CİMER tip! Minister Gürlek: Those who made unfair profit from human bodies were caught

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek announced on his social media account that a simultaneous operation was carried out in 14 provinces against the illegal reproductive cell trade.

In his statement, Gürlek said, "We continue our determined fight against criminal structures that direct women to illegal reproductive cell trade and disregard human dignity and physical integrity.

In the investigation initiated by the Terrorism and Organized Crimes Investigation Bureau of our Istanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, upon a tip-off made through CİMER, findings were reached that the illegal reproductive cell trade linked to Turkey, TRNC, Albania and Georgia was being carried out in an organized manner.

As a result of the evaluation of HTS and MASAK records, international travel information and other evidence obtained, it was determined that Turkish patriotic women were directed abroad and sold eggs in return for financial benefit.

Within the scope of the investigation, it was determined that a total of 811 eggs were sold by 41 women.

In the simultaneous operation carried out today in 14 provinces, including Istanbul; Legal proceedings have been initiated against a total of 53 suspects, including 1 organization leader, 5 organization managers, 41 donor women, 2 gynecologists and obstetricians and 4 travel organizers. 36 of the suspects were caught and detained, and it was determined that 1 suspect was in prison. Efforts are continuing to capture a total of 16 suspects, including 7 suspects who were found to be abroad.

I would like to thank our Istanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, who carried out the investigation meticulously, our Police Department who took part in the operation, and all our public officials who contributed.

No material benefit is above human dignity and physical integrity!

Under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan; "We will continue our work with determination to reveal all the connections of criminal structures, identify those responsible and hold them accountable before justice."
