Story summary

On November 6, 2026, an Istanbul court jailed Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya, a former minister and senior member of Turkey's ruling AK Party, in connection with a financial probe related to the country's fund crisis. The arrest followed questioning by prosecutors investigating money laundering crimes. Kaya was accused of profiting from sales of investments worth approximately 2.17 billion lira ($43.27 million) before the crisis triggered a major stock market selloff. Her husband, Ilyas Kaya, was released under judicial measures banning travel abroad in the same investigation. Sayan Kaya had resigned as deputy chairperson of the AK Party and from her role as minister of family and social services after facing allegations of receiving large sums from share sales earlier that year.
