The law enforcement agencies will chase the offenders with Ferrari, Bentley, Porsche and a bunch of other German vehicles

Turkish authorities recently arrested Hakan Ike, a notorious gangster and drug kingpin who earned the nickname “Australia’s Most Wanted Man”. During the operation, the police confiscated 23 luxury cars. All of them have now been converted into patrol cars, including the Ferrari, Bentley and Porsche Taycan. In order to show off this acquisition, the Turkish police also made a promo clip with the patrol cars, the total cost of which is $3.5 million.

Turkey’s interior minister, Ali Yerlikaya, posted the video on his personal account on X, known as Twitter, along with details about it – 23 cars have been confiscated as a result of Istanbul police’s successful crackdown on organized crime.

From the video, we see the Ferrari 488 in the center of the exhibition, and next to it are the Bentley Continental, Porsche Taycan and Audi RS6. These cars alone are over a million, and in Turkey much more because of the high taxes. We also see several Mercedes-Benz, Range Rover and Volvo models.

All these cars belonged to Hakan Ajak, a drug trafficker based in Sydney, Australia. He was the leader of a gang called the Comanchero. He left Australia in 2010 and has been wanted ever since. During his arrest in Turkey, 37 people and assets worth about $250 million were arrested with him.
