A new development has occurred in the million-dollar fraud case. An anonymous tip letter received from the Muğla Closed Prison has been entered into the investigation file.

In the handwritten tip letter sent on May 8, it was stated that B.O., a relative of the informant's ex-spouse, was a friend of Seçil Erzan, and it was alleged that he smuggled the money abroad. The informant, noting that B.O. travels abroad very frequently, also claimed that there was money kept at home. Following this tip, the Public Prosecutor's Office, which is conducting the investigation, took action. The prosecutor's office requested that the informant, M.S., be made available in the SEGBİS (Audio and Visual Information System) room urgently on May 18.

"SEÇİL'S FRIEND"

M.S., who was made available at the designated location, gave his testimony as a witness. M.S. made the following claims: "B.O. is a relative of my ex-spouse. He used to work at a bank. However, he was fired from that bank. B.O. constantly goes abroad under the pretext of traveling. I know that Seçil Erzan and B.O. are friends. B.O. is a single man. There might be a romantic relationship between him and Seçil Erzan. While I was at my former mother-in-law's house, I heard the name Seçil repeatedly during B.'s conversations. B.O. would often say to his sister and my ex-spouse, 'I will take the money I obtained from some people abroad.'"

"HE SUDDENLY BECAME WEALTHY"

Stating that B.O. was previously fired from the bank where he worked on suspicion of fraud, M.S. continued his testimony as follows: "He remained unemployed for a very long time. I do not know clearly whether B.O. has a connection with FETÖ. However, he traveled abroad. And he suddenly became wealthy. Everyone around me knew he was receiving money from someone. I and those around me thought he obtained this money from FETÖ members, but I do not know if he has a connection with the FETÖ terrorist organization. I only know that he received money from people I did not know and took it abroad."

"THEY WERE HIDING THE MONEY AT HOME"

Explaining that B.O. suddenly became very wealthy, M.S. alleged that these individuals were part of a scheme and were taking the money abroad, continuing his testimony: "I had heard many times before from my spouse that her uncle B. was hiding a lot of money at his sister's house. I also heard from my close circle that B.O. was smuggling the money he obtained to Switzerland. I know that B.O. suddenly became the owner of 3-4 houses. B.O. is someone who regularly and constantly goes abroad under the pretext of travel. It is not possible for a bank manager to go on such trips and stay abroad for long periods like a week. I had heard in the press that Seçil Erzan had defrauded many people and made them victims. I think that Seçil smuggled the money she obtained abroad with B.O. I wanted to tell what I knew as a civic duty," he said.

ENTERED THE INVESTIGATION AS A WITNESS

The testimony of M.S., who also stated that B.O. was a bank manager, has been entered into the investigation file as a witness. Whether these allegations are true will be revealed through the investigation to be conducted.
