Operation against driver's license exam fraud: 98 arrests in 24 provinces

Authorities in Turkey have launched a major operation against a criminal organization accused of orchestrating widespread cheating on driver's license exams. The operation, centered in Konya and spanning 24 provinces, has resulted in the arrest of 98 suspects out of a total of 262 identified individuals.

The Beyşehir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office initiated the investigation after discovering the organization's methods. The group allegedly placed technical equipment on candidates taking the written driver's license exams to ensure they passed fraudulently. This sophisticated cheating scheme aimed to benefit the organization financially.

Simultaneous raids were conducted at addresses identified in the 24 provinces. While 98 suspects were apprehended and taken into custody, efforts are continuing to locate and arrest the remaining individuals involved in the illicit operation. The investigation highlights a significant effort to maintain the integrity of the driver's license examination process.
