Ankara: Amid the Israel-Hamas war, Turkish state media has made a sensational claim of the arrest of the financial network head of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad by Istanbul police. According to Turkish state media agency Anadolu, Istanbul police have arrested Mossad’s financial network head Rexhepi in Turkey. According to security sources, Rexhepi conducted drone surveys and psychological operations against Palestinian politicians under the instructions of the Israeli intelligence service.
Security sources said on Tuesday that the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) has identified Liridon Rexhepi, arrested by Istanbul police, as the head of Mossad’s financial network. It is claimed that Rexhepi used to manage the financial operations of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad in Turkey. Apart from this, he transferred money to field agents in Turkey to collect intelligence on Syria. To prove Rexhepi’s activities, suspicious transactions are also included in his accounts, which were monitored by the Turkish intelligence agency MIT.
Many Mossad agents were made from Turkey to Eastern European countries
Citing the Turkish intelligence agency, state media has claimed that the arrested Mossad financial head transferred a large amount of money to field agents in Turkey through Western Union. He entered the country on August 25. Since then his activities were monitored. When MIT and Istanbul police detained Rexhepi on August 30, he admitted to transferring the money. This was a major disclosure of Mossad’s financial network. MIT found out that Mossad funded its field agents in Turkey through Eastern European countries, mainly Kosovo. After this, funds from Kosovo were transferred to Syrian sources through Western Union and cryptocurrency.
