Police dragnet humiliates top-tier international fugitives

Alleged criminal elites in a thriving global cartel were pinched and paraded in police raids in Turkey - which was considered a safe space to avoid charges in America, Australia, Sweden, and New Zealand. Let me tell you about it.
Among those arrested are purported drug lords in the Aussie cartel: most-wanted outlaw biker club members Hakan Ayık and Duax Ngakuru, top fugitives from U.S. racketeering charges in one of the world’s greatest police stings, and a man with a $5 million bounty on his head.
The Mob Reporter is back with news on the beefy, wealthy, dangerous fugitives caught in a dragnet in Turkey that pushes major organized crime prosecutions forward, including the ANOM encrypted communications sting that trapped a thousand suspects in more than a dozen countries by tricking them into using an FBI phone system to arrange their dirty deeds. For prosecutors, this catch is a real Turkish Delight.
Let me tell you about it.
The Turks called it Operation Cage when it was unveiled in two waves, one on Nov. 2, and the other on Nov. 5, 2023. The Turks netted some big fish; 42 suspects in all, several of them wanted in countries in three continents. Many are members and associates of the Comanchero Motorcycle Club, called Australia’s number one criminal threat. Seven were named in Interpol Red Notices, which are reserved for fugitive wanted for serious crime.
The best known of this bunch is Hakan Ayık. He’s notorious in the underworld, because of his social media photos. He became notorious Down Under as the so-called “Facebook Gangster” after news media started revealing self-indulgent social media photos, often shirtless and flexing, surrounded by signs of wealth and beauty. In Turkey he changed his name to Harkan Reis.
Another big fish netted in Turkey is Duax Ngakuru. He is said to have assumed the title Supreme Commander of the Comanchero after biker boss Mark Buddle was arrested in Northern Cyprus, taken to Turkey and then flown to Australia last year.
The headliner for the second wave of arrests was Maximilian Rivkin. Rivkin was also allegedly neck deep in the ANOM encryption business. America and Sweden offered a $5-million reward for his capture. Thousands of mobsters, bikers, narcos, money launderers around the world were tricked into using AN0M, a phone system claiming unbreakable privacy. We now know everything was being monitored by the FBI and Australian Federal Police.
It’s allege that two of the top ambassadors for the tainted phones were Hakan Ayık and Maximilian Rivkin.

Thanks. Yeah, I'd love to. Funny thing about my American videos is they are some of my best content but for some reasons they don't perform very well.

[@tomfromcanada8151]

Although it's hard to argue with wanting more American content I find the Australian content to be quite intriguing considering the amount of money involved in the criminal underworld there. Like most of the high end criminals there, the down under underbelly is on steroids.
