The crime of fraud through the use of information systems, banking or credit institutions as a tool

In this master's thesis is examined the offense of fraud committed through the use of information systems, banks, or credit institutions as instruments, as stipulated in Article 158, paragraph 1(f) of the Turkish Penal Code No. 5237. The offense, categorized within the general framework of criminal law theory, is also analyzed from the perspective of the information systems discipline. The two most characteristic elements of the act constituting the offense, namely "deception," "information systems," and "banking material assets," have been scrutinized through a terminological lens. Additionally, the offense has been discussed with a focus on its practical aspects, incorporating opinions from the doctrine. The study further includes the most frequently encountered examples in practice, emphasizing the methods of committing the offense and highlighting its similarities to and differences from other cybercrimes.
