According to details of an investigation led by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, former Galatasaray player Sneijder has links to the Comanchero, an international organized crime group, and is involved in money laundering activities.
The investigation focuses on charges such as forming a criminal organization, international drug trafficking, and money laundering. As of November 2023, 55 suspects have been detained. Meanwhile, in collaboration with the Narcotics Police Department and the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), the court has ordered the seizure of assets totaling approximately 4.5 billion Turkish Lira.
Eighteen suspects have been arrested, while 22 others have been released under judicial supervision. MASAK’s investigation found that Sneijder had links to the company Econ Real Estate, which is under investigation. Public information indicates that he is a shareholder in the company.
However, MASAK did not find specific records in the “Trade Registry Gazette” confirming Sneijder’s partnership. Nonetheless, Sneijder was confirmed to have transferred $1,181,428 to the company. Statements from those arrested indicate that Sneijder transferred this money to become a shareholder in the company.
Sneijder has responded to these allegations.
