The head of the Istanbul Stock Exchange was arrested in Turkey The CEO of the Istanbul Stock Exchange (Istanbul Stock Exchange), Korkamaz Anas Argon, was arrested in Turkey. The Republican Chief Prosecutor's Office in Istanbul accuses a senior financier of accepting bribes and participating in an organized crime group. Argon has been leading the main trade arena in the country since 2021. The reason for the large-scale anti-corruption investigation was the deep crisis in the Turkish stock market that broke out in September, when it was forced to stop trading in securities urgently due to suspicious transactions and liquidity problems of several investment funds. The investigation led to massive investigative actions against market participants. As part of the developing case, by the end of October the number of financiers and asset managers had already reached 120 people, and the arrest of Eragon himself was the first time the investigation was extended to the top of the stock exchange.
