Turkish gang used games for recruitment
According to the NTV channel, the indictment in the case of an organized criminal group states that gang members used popular online games for communication, recruiting new members, and coordinating illegal activities. They specially connected devices to their mobile phones that were disconnected from cellular operators and communicated exclusively through other people's Wi-Fi networks in cafes, shopping centers, and public transport to make it harder to track their location and identify them.
