According to reports, the gang, consisting of five people, posed as police and stopped the businessman's car and forced him to give out his passwords of online banking accounts at gunpoint.
The businessman reportedly contacted the police following the incident and filed a criminal complaint and police were able to find the whereabouts of gang members after examination of security cameras around the area.
One of the suspects was reportedly jailed for extortion but had fled, while another suspect proposed to his girlfriend in an extravagant ceremony at a luxurious restaurant in Istanbul.
