ISTANBUL — Istanbul Police have arrested Liridon Rexhepi, identified by the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) as the head of Mossad’s financial network in Türkiye, security sources said on Tuesday. According to the sources, Rexhepi was responsible for managing the financial operations of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad within Türkiye. Under the instructions of Israeli intelligence, he allegedly conducted drone surveillance and psychological operations against Palestinian politicians and transferred funds to field agents gathering intelligence on Syria. Rexhepi’s activities, including suspicious financial transactions, were closely monitored by MIT, revealing significant money transfers through Western Union to Mossad field agents in Türkiye. MIT had tracked his activities since he entered the country on August 25, culminating in his detention on August 30 by MIT and Istanbul Police. During interrogation, Rexhepi admitted to his role in transferring funds. — Agencies
