Notable 'Fatih Terim' dialogue between Seçil Erzan and the presiding judge!

New details continue to emerge in the fraud case where former Denizbank branch manager Seçil Erzan is accused of collecting money from many people in the sports and business worlds under the name of the 'Fatih Terim Fund' with promises of high returns.

ERZAN REVEALED THOSE WHO THREATENED HER

Seçil Erzan, who faces up to 226 years in prison, revealed in court those who had threatened her. Meanwhile, a dialogue also took place between Erzan and the presiding judge regarding manager Fatih Terim, who is not a complainant in the case but whose name appears on Erzan's lists.

HER LAWYER ASKED ERZAN: WHAT DID THEY THREATEN YOU WITH?

According to the report in Patronlar Dünyası, during the hearing, Seçil Erzan's lawyer, Nazlı Nadide Karaaslan, asked: “I want to ask Seçil this. In summary, you say, 'I am under threat and blackmail.' What are the events that caused you to be under threat and blackmail? Can you elaborate on this for us? In what way were you threatened? Who were the ones sending messages? What did they threaten you with? You were forced to call these things funds under their influence, and you were forced to take money from people even though you perhaps knew you couldn't pay it back. What caused these things?”

LAWYERS FOR THE COMPLAINANTS OBJECTED

The lawyer for some of the complainants objected to this question, saying, “Is that a question, to say 'you did this, you did that'?”

The presiding judge then added, “Is there a threat? But she has been saying from the beginning that she was threatened.”

Seçil Erzan tried to speak, saying, “But the essence of the matter…”

THE PRESIDING JUDGE ASKED: WHO THREATENED YOU?

The presiding judge then asked, “Who threatened you? It has been asked 150 times before and she didn't say anything, but let's ask again. Who threatened you, ma'am? Who threatened you, forcing you to take and give money?”

Seçil Erzan then revealed the names, saying, “Ayhan Akman threatened me. Fırat did. Semih did, there was Architect Çetin's brother-in-law, he did. Süleyman Aslan did. Many people did. Tanın did, Merve…”

NOTABLE FATIH TERIM DIALOGUE

A dialogue about Fatih Terim also took place during the hearing following questions from the prosecutor.

Seçil Erzan: When I was in Florya, there were no problems, I didn't owe anyone anything until 2020. It was going somehow. I was keeping my promises. I had multiplied the money of a few people and given them extra. Then in 2020, someone who knew me and trusted me handed me money to multiply—not under the name of a fund, but just saying 'do whatever you want with it'.

Presiding Judge: Who is this person?

Seçil Erzan: Someone from the Galatasaray community?

Presiding Judge: Yes. Who?

Seçil Erzan: Can I make a statement later?

Presiding Judge: Do you not want to say their name?

Erzan's lawyer Karaaslan: We will provide a written statement, your honor.

Presiding Judge: Alright.

Seçil Erzan: His…

Presiding Judge: He handed over his money in 2020, yes.

Seçil Erzan: Yes. At that time, he left the club, and in the meantime, I was paying him money whenever he wanted, giving it to him so he could continue his normal life; I couldn't say no.

Presiding Judge: So he actually gave you a certain amount of money, he handed it over in cash.

Seçil Erzan: We had told the prosecutor that it was the first one, I had said “I will not reveal his name,” I had mentioned 300 thousand dollars at that time.

Prosecutor: Let me ask, is he among the complainants?

Seçil Erzan: No.

Prosecutor: Because the lawyer asked, you said “No,” that's why.

Seçil Erzan: No, he is not among the complainants.

Presiding Judge: But everyone understood who it was, so let me ask here. Is Fatih Terim the person you are referring to?

Seçil Erzan: Everyone trusted his word, they knew. How much did it become…

Presiding Judge: So was Fatih Terim the person you referred to as 300 thousand dollars?

Seçil Erzan: Yes.

Complainant Lawyer Öksüz: Your Honor, I have questions.

Presiding Judge: We have questions. Go ahead, Counselor.

Seçil Erzan: I am very tired.

Defense Lawyer Karaaslan: Your Honor, can we take a short break? She is very tired.
