In the money laundering incident on Twitch, which was discovered through the data revealed by Twitch’s hacking in the past months, there was an extremely important development after a long silence today. As part of the investigation, the teams identified 44 suspects and detained 40 of them as a result of extensive work. As for the 4 fugitives, work continues.
Tuna Akşen (PintiPanda), one of the most followed names of Twitch in the past years, shared a different post on Twitch. Akşen announced that she was called by the Tax Inspection Board to consult her knowledge on Twitch. It is not yet known whether the subject is related to the money laundering scandal on Twitch.
Documents and digital materials were seized in the morning operation.
With the operations held this morning, 40 suspects were detained in 11 provinces. A large number of documents and digital materials were seized during the searches made at the homes and workplaces of the people, including some Twitch broadcasters. The suspects were taken to the Istanbul Security Directorate for questioning.
While the first arrests were made today in the money laundering scandal made through Twitch’s internal donation system Bit, we expect new developments about the Twitch investigation in the coming days.
