In the studies carried out by the teams of the Public Order Branch Directorate Fraud Bureau upon the instructions of the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was learned that the suspects named H. K. (52) and his brother O. K. (46), who were engaged in jewelery activities in Kuyumcukent, bought processed gold from 16 gold producing companies by promising to sell to different customers at their own workplaces.

It was determined that the suspects did not pay back the price of the gold they bought, and the victims filed a complaint stating that they lost a total of 64 kilograms of gold.

MONEY TRAFFIC HAS BEEN UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

It was determined that they said 'We cannot pay your money'.

It was stated that the Fraud Bureau teams took precautions against the suspects' assets, which consist of real estate, gold, silver and foreign currency worth a total of 230 million lira. 28 suspects, who did not accept the accusations in their statements to the police, were sent to the courthouse.
