Turkish prosecutors in Bakırköy have detained seven suspects accused of laundering drug-trafficking proceeds by purchasing 17 properties, the district's chief public prosecutor's office announced. Authorities allege the suspects converted illicit narcotics income into real estate to disguise its origin. The case underscores Turkey's continued use of asset seizures to disrupt laundering networks. Watch for the indictment and any expansion of the property freeze as investigators trace the money trail.
