In Turkey, the police and gendarme troops have launched a crackdown on gamblers and detained 113 suspects. A total of 709 people wanted for various crimes were captured in the crackdown on illegal gambling dens.
Police and gendarme officers raided more than 20,000 locations, from coffeehouses to offices of associations in operations.
A gang in southern Turkey changed the title of their fake association many times to continue gambling despite police operations almost every week. In most cases, gamblers get away with fines due to legal loopholes.
Police fined 1646 people, as well as 325 locations for secretly hosting gamblers. Seventy-seven workplaces used as illegal casinos were shut down. Gambling was banned in Turkey in 1998 but illegal gambling houses survive even today.
