The Internal Security Forces-Women uncovered and neutralized a suspected spy network that allegedly collected information on behalf of the Turkish intelligence service MIT.
The network consisted of four people, three women and one man, who had been passing on sensitive military data, in particular coordinates of border and city bases, to Turkish authorities over a long period of time. The aim was to obtain information about Internal Security Forces’ positions and command structures in Raqqa and at the Tabqa Dam.
The group was exposed by the General Security Department. According to a press statement on Monday, precise surveillance had made it possible to identify and dismantle the group at an early stage, before it could carry out any active operations.
According to the authorities, some members of the group made extensive statements during questioning. One person admitted that contact with Turkish officers had been organized through intermediaries. These intermediaries specifically requested information about military facilities and strategically sensitive locations. In return, substantial payments were made.
The person in question admitted to having transmitted several coordinates in exchange for money. The women’s division of Internal Security Forces reported that video recordings were made of statements made by the alleged agents. These, it said, serve as evidence of their involvement in intelligence activities.
