Gregory van der Wiel

Istanbul police detained two people on May 15 over allegations that they committed fraud worth $4.5 million against Gregory Van der Wiel, a Dutch international footballer who plays for Turkish club Fenerbahçe.

A well-motivated Turkish Spor Toto Super League leader Beşiktaş will take on archrival Fenerbahçe on Feb. 5 in a Ziraat Turkey Cup last 16 stage "do or die" game. 

Beşiktaş, which climbed to the top of the standings on matchday 18, put five goals past a strong Konyaspor on Jan. 30 to maintain a two-point cushion over Medipol Başakşehir.

A heavy Dutch presence in the Fenerbahçe ranks will ensure plenty of intrigue as Dick Advocaat's team welcomes Feyenoord on Sept. 29 in a Europa League Group A match.

Advocaat will be on the opposite bench from one of his old charges, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, in a game that will give the winner a major advantage in the race to advance from the group stage.
