Turkey has frozen assets linked to executives at multiple investment firms and expanded a probe into a fund-industry crisis that has already produced failed redemptions, arrests and a sharp stock-market sell-off. The justice minister said the measures target executives connected to Tera Yatirim Menkul Degerler and Pusula Finansi and include restrictions on asset transfers by board members, signatories and certain relatives; transfers require prosecutor approval.
