So it's been about five days since he was caught, and it didn't make the waves until recently.

It involved officers from the Intelligence Directorate and the Istanbul Police Department's Financial Crimes Unit, with support from Turkey's National Intelligence Organization.

Law enforcement identified the entrepreneur's location and set up surveillance at his residence.
CryptowiresHOST
After carrying out operational measures, they detained Hart.
Pepe EscobarGUEST
Wow.
Pepe EscobarGUEST
And if that happens, coordinated by MIT, which is the Turkish intelligence, essentially, they're going to be deep, deep, deep trouble.
Pepe EscobarGUEST
Because then Yemen is going to go after Turkish interests.
Pepe EscobarGUEST
And don't forget, Turkish has a large navy and they need the Red Sea and they need the Bab al-Mandab.
PhilHOST
He was arrested.
PhilHOST
And look at the little name they gave him, right? The nice little moniker, Whale James, who was wanted with a red notice by Interpol, was captured this morning, that was yesterday morning, in a Don operation by MIT and Special Forces.
PhilHOST
So, This is where we get into all the fun stuff, right? Because I was talking to you guys about this earlier.

Jonathan HackettGUEST
Well, HAYI, that you mentioned, Andy, was actually run by a Kata'ib Hezbollah operative out of Iraq, and this became known through a US indictment after we arrested him in Turkey with the cooperation of MIT, which is Turkey's intelligence entity, who handed him over to us.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
All those, uh, many of those operations, not all of them, many of those operations were led by a Kata'ib Hezbollah handler on orders from the IRGC to do those things in the UK.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
And it was, it was pretty elaborate actually, a very interesting case study on, on a third, third party handler doing this for the IRGC to create even more depth for deniability, but still being controlled and, and, and ordered by the IRGC.
Hovik ManucharyanHOST
Hakan Fidan is, uh, currently foreign, uh, foreign minister of Turkey.
Hovik ManucharyanHOST
He was formerly, uh, head of the MIT or MIT, the Turkish intelligence.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
Mm-hmm.
Hovik ManucharyanHOST
And Ibrahim Kalin was formerly senior advisor to Erdogan and is currently the chief of Turkish intelligence, so he has Hakan Fidan's old job.

You know, we, um, and, um, yeah, the celibacy stuff.
Hovik ManucharyanHOST
Like I, you know...
Hovik ManucharyanHOST
I wonder, like, if the, like, Turkish MIT, uh, the Israeli Mossad all, like, had a big meeting in Langley, Virginia, with the CIA and said, "How can we, you know, make this report sound better? Okay, let's, let's put the celibacy part first," you know.
Hovik ManucharyanHOST
That tells you the quality, uh, a- and what they're going after.
