Turkey dismantles money laundering network linked to Libyan traders

Turkish authorities carried out a large-scale security operation that led to the dismantling of an international money laundering network involving Libyan and Turkish traders. The network used personal bank cards to withdraw large sums of money through point-of-sale (POS) terminals spread across Istanbul, Antalya, and Bursa. Turkish newspapers reported on Thursday that investigations uncovered illegal transfers worth millions of dollars, funneled through shell companies and Libyan bank accounts. The reports confirmed the arrest of 85 individuals, including employees of DenizBank, Şekerbank, and the Ozan payment company, on charges of facilitating financial crimes. Turkish authorities froze accounts and seized assets, including real estate, vehicles, and gold. They also suspended cash withdrawals using foreign cards in Turkey, sparking concerns among Libyan businessmen. The operation comes amid increased international scrutiny of Libyan financial flows and suspicions of networks involved in funding illicit activities, with expectations that the investigation will expand in the coming days.
