A lawsuit has been filed against 136 people, including Melih Karabacak, who is alleged to be the founder of the organization, within the scope of the "Iron Fist" operation carried out against the companies that are claimed to harm the public through illegal transactions in the iron and steel industry.

The indictment prepared by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office was accepted by the Ankara 35th High Criminal Court.

Later, in the indictment, it was stated that the activities for the purpose of the organization were carried on by establishing front companies on behalf of other individuals, and it was stated in the indictment that Karabacak carried out the illegal transactions through his deputy defendant Öztürk without coming to the fore, and that the organization manager Murat Yeşilbaş gave instructions to the couriers of the organization to withdraw the amount in return for the checks from the banks.
