Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office has launched new operations as part of its investigation into football betting, APA reports, citing NTV. 

The operations have been expanded as part of the investigation that began after the Turkish Football Federation discovered that referees were involved in betting.

Detention orders have been issued for numerous club managers and footballers.

Note that some time ago, Istanbul Chief Prosecutor Akın Gürlek announced that an operation would be carried out in Türkiye against club presidents and referees in connection with illegal betting activities.
