Golden Finance News reported on July 12, citing Hürriyet Daily News, that Turkish prosecutors have brought charges against a massive money-laundering network involving the “Grand Bazaar.” The amount involved is nearly 40 billion Turkish lira (about $850 million). The indictment lists 504 suspects, who are accused of using shell companies, bank accounts, foreign exchange counters, POS terminals, and cryptocurrency exchanges to conceal illegal proceeds. The suspects are also accused of converting the stolen funds into cryptocurrency and transferring them abroad, and of luring victims into fraudulent investment schemes with promises of high returns. Prosecutors are seeking the maximum sentence of 34.5 years in prison for the alleged mastermind, Türker Ak, and up to 31 years in prison for the alleged network manager, Murat Dönmezoğlu.
