Turkey: A private detective and a lawyer arrested for providing information to Mossad

The lawyer provided the detective with information that facilitated his surveillance of a Palestinian activist

Newsroom October 3 03:20

 

Turkey‘s Secret Services (MIT), have arrested a private investigator named Serkan Cicek, as he was found to be working for the Mossad.

According to security sources, MIT organized an operation codenamed “Metron Activity” against Cicek after it was found that he was working for Israel.

MİT investigations revealed that Cicek had contacts with Faysal Rasheed, a member of the Israeli Cyber Operations Center. Cicek admitted to spying on a Palestinian activist who was opposed to Israel’s policies in the Middle East.

Investigations also revealed that his real name was Muhammet Fatih Keles, and that he changed his name after incurring significant debts in his professional activities. He then quit the trade and from 2020 opened a detective agency.

Subsequently, Cicek met lawyer Tugrulhan Dip, who has also been arrested for espionage for Israel, as he provided him with information from public records in exchange for financial gain.

Cicek, as a detective, caught the attention of the Mossad. The agency’s agent Faysal Rasheed, posing as an overseas law firm employee, contacted him on July 31 via WhatsApp.

Rasheed requested four days of surveillance of a Palestinian activist living in Basakeshire who was voicing his opposition to Israel’s policies. As part of this mission, he paid Cicek $4,000 in cryptocurrency on August 1.
