Also, the forces confiscated a large number of documents and digital material in the counter-terror operations.

Twenty-four suspects were arrested on Nov. 5 in simultaneous operations in 11 provinces, as part of a probe on the terror group’s international financial activities.

A court in Diyarbakir remanded in custody 15 Daesh terrorists while nine others were released under judicial control. But prosecutors filed an appeal to re-arrest eight of them and fresh warrants were issued.

The suspects are accused of transferring money to the terror group in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Indonesia, and Libya.
