The General Directorate of Police conducted large-scale operations over the past five days simultaneously across 64 provinces throughout Turkey as part of its cybercrime crackdown. A total of 1,021 suspects were taken into custody in these operations, with 319 of them remanded in custody by the courts to which they were referred.

The operations targeted not only suspects but also substantial financial assets. According to official statements, approximately 48 billion 16 million Turkish lira in cash and property was seized. This figure makes these operations among the most significant interventions in Turkey's cybercrime history.
