For allegedly selling information to the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, the Turkish Interior Minister, Ali Yerlikaya, revealed that eight Turkish have been arrested and detained.
Yerlikaya made the arrest public when he took to Platform X on Friday morning.
According to his post on X, two of the suspects were taken into custody and a judicial control decision was made for six others.
The suspects held meetings with Israeli intelligence and compiled information about individuals and companies in Türkiye that were targeted by Mossad, he said.
He added that they allegedly transferred the information and documents to Israeli intelligence elements.
The raids were conducted jointly with the Turkish National Intelligence Organisation, according to the minister.
Meanwhile, in the video released by Yerlikaya, shows all suspects being taken to the state hospital for health checks and then to the Justice Ministry building in Istanbul.
“We will never allow espionage activities that are intended to be carried out against our national unity and solidarity within the borders of our country,” Yerlikaya said
