Liridon Rexhepi, a Kosovo Albanian, has been arrested by the Turkish Intelligence unit on suspicion of financing espionage. According to the Turkish media that have echoed the arrest, Rexhepi supplied money to the agents of the Israeli intelligence service in Istanbul, MOSSAD.
This citizen appears to have entered Turkey less than a week ago, on August 25, and his movements have been monitored by the Turkish intelligence services.
The local media "Sputnik Turkey" informs that the Albanian Liridon Rexhepi has provided financial support to the field personnel of MOSSAD in Turkey and has transferred money for various operations that have been carried out in this country.
The National Intelligence Organization in Istanbul (MİT) has determined that the Kosovo Albanian transferred money to Israeli agents operating on the ground in Turkey according to MOSSAD's instructions. This has been proven by drone strikes, psychological operations against Palestinian politicians and intelligence gathering on the Syrian ground.
As it emerged from the preliminary investigations and what the Turkish media reports, Liridon Rexhepi regularly sent money to Israeli MOSSAD agents in Turkey via Western Union. It turns out that some suspicious transactions and movements in the bank accounts of this citizen have been monitored.
Liridon Rexhepi has been closely monitored by MİT since entering Turkey on August 25, 2024. As a result of coordination with the Anti-Terrorism Branch Directorate of the Istanbul Police (TEM), Rexhepi was detained on August 30. He has accepted the money transfers in his statement at the police station and the court has decided to leave him in prison.
The MİT operation revealed that MOSSAD has provided financial support to its personnel on the ground in Turkey from Eastern European countries, especially from Kosovo.
