The remains of a Chinese businessman named Yun Wang were discovered in the Istanbul Arnavutkoy district of Türkiye. His disappearance was reported on January 24. Police, after locating his car using GPS signals, discovered the body. Ten people suspected of involvement in this case were detained in China at the request of Interpol.

According to the Turkish publication Hürriyet, the body of Chinese businessman Yun Wang, 38 years old, was found in Arnavutkoy, one of the districts of Istanbul, who was allegedly robbed before being killed. This businessman was reported missing to the police by his lawyer on January 24. Businessman disappeared in the western district of Istanbul – Bakirkoy.

Law enforcement officers were able to detect GPS signals emitted from Yong Wang's vehicle, which helped determine his last known location. At the scene, police found tools such as shovels and hoes that could be used to bury the body. Soon, Yun Wang's body was discovered at the farm. The deceased's hands and feet were tied and his mouth was sealed.

It is believed that the criminals may have ties to China and received information about Vann's whereabouts through a woman who had contact with him. It is believed that they hit the businessman on the head with a hard object and took his cryptocurrency wallet.

Ten suspects have been placed on the international wanted list through Interpol and, according to available data, have been detained in China.

Missing Chinese businessman found buried in Istanbul, suspects caught in China - Türkiye Today

The body of Yong Wang, a 38-year-old Chinese businessman who had been reported missing in Istanbul, was found buried in a field in the Arnavutkoy district, with his hands, feet, and mouth bound with packing tape.

Investigators determined he was killed in an attempted robbery, and Turkish prosecutors launched a criminal investigation that later led to an Interpol red notice being issued for 10 suspects, who were subsequently detained in China.

Missing-person report set the investigation in motion

Wang was reported missing on Jan. 24 after his lawyer filed a missing-person application with the Bakirkoy District Police Department.

Police teams then took up the case and began tracking the vehicle Wang had been using by reviewing its GPRS signal data, a location-tracking system that can help establish where a device or vehicle was last detected.

Vehicle signal pointed police to Arnavutkoy

The signal review showed the vehicle was last seen in a field in the Baklali neighborhood in Arnavutkoy.

As teams moved into searching the area, they found digging tools, including a pickaxe and shovels, which led to a more detailed sweep of the site.

Body recovered; hands and feet bound with packing tape

After further work in the field, Wang’s body was recovered from a buried location.

According to the findings by the Missing Persons Bureau under the Istanbul Police Department’s Public Order Branch, Wang had been buried with his hands, feet, and mouth bound using packing tape.

Probe linked killing to an alleged robbery attempt

As the investigation was carried on, authorities determined that the victim was a businessman and that he was allegedly killed by people who were trying to take his money.

A criminal investigation was launched by the on-duty prosecutor’s office in Gaziosmanpasa.

Interpol notice issued; 10 suspects detained in China

Within the scope of the probe, 10 people were identified as suspects and an arrest decision was issued through Interpol, the international police cooperation body that helps countries track and detain fugitives across borders.
