A financial investigation into the Financial Crimes Investigation Board found that a security mechanism designed to prevent employees from searching political figures' records had been disabled. Investigators determined that searches were subsequently conducted involving President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, members of his family, and several government ministers. The probe, which examines allegations of FETÖ network infiltration between 2012 and 2018, also resulted in the seizure of two software companies in Ankara and the issuance of detention warrants for 22 suspects.
