Among those taken into custody are singers Ilyas Yalçıntaş and Sıla Gençoğlu, as well as Aybüke Aldere, producer Fatih Aksoy, Ateş İnce, Şefik Ömer Dolman, Ayşe Nur Balcı, and model Irem Haznedar.
Authorities are currently conducting a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the detentions. The operation, which targeted multiple locations across Istanbul, underscores the Turkish law enforcement's ongoing efforts to combat illicit drug activities within the country's prominent cultural and social circles.
Turkey has intensified its crackdown on drug-related crimes in recent years, with law enforcement agencies frequently conducting large-scale operations in major urban centers like Istanbul to dismantle criminal networks.
