The operation to detain suspects took place simultaneously in several locations, where 14 out of 16 suspects linked to a drug trafficking and pimping case were arrested. Among those detained were not only models and actors but also former executives of leading football clubs in Turkey.
Hande Erçel and Hakan Sabancı, who were abroad, could not be apprehended. In this regard, the Istanbul prosecutor's office has initiated an arrest warrant for them. According to Hande herself, she was outside the country for studies but has already returned home and is ready to cooperate with the investigation.
