Turkey's Justice Minister Akın Gürlek announced an investigation into 22 individuals for unauthorized access to the Financial Crimes Investigation Board's (MASAK) intelligence system, specifically involving searches related to President Erdoğan and other officials. Five suspects have been detained, while arrest warrants have been issued for 16 others, some of whom are abroad. The investigation focuses on the security of MASAK's Integrated Financial Intelligence System (EMİS), which was allegedly compromised by individuals linked to the Gülen movement. Prosecutors claim that safeguards for records concerning politically exposed persons were disabled, allowing unauthorized searches. Additionally, three former MASAK chiefs are set to testify. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities seeking to determine the extent of the unauthorized access and any potential espionage activities.
