Striking detail in MASAK report: What did ROK say about the money he sent to Nagehan Alçı?

Rasim Ozan Kütahyalı, who was detained within the scope of an investigation into illegal betting, money laundering, bribery, and fraud centered in Adana and covering many provinces, was arrested by the court. During the large-scale operation, which was carried out in a total of 21 provinces and aimed to detain 200 people, it was stated that Kütahyalı said, "There is a misunderstanding," while being escorted by the police.

One of the prominent details in the investigation file was the activity in the joint accounts of Kütahyalı, whom the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) labeled as a "suspect," and Nagehan Alçı. In his 244-page statement given to the police, Kütahyalı provided comprehensive explanations regarding these money transfers.

According to Yeniçağ, one of the questions posed by the police concerned the flow of money between Kütahyalı and his ex-wife, Nagehan Alçı. Regarding this matter, Kütahyalı stated, "The vast majority of the amounts I sent to my ex-wife, Nagehan Alçı, are financial aid."

While it is known that Rasim Ozan Kütahyalı and Nagehan Alçı divorced by mutual agreement in a single hearing on October 3, 2023, it was determined that Kütahyalı sent a total of 269 thousand TL to Alçı in 2024. Additionally, a transaction of 513 thousand TL, which was made from their joint account in 2020 while they were still married and was deemed suspicious, was also questioned. Regarding this transaction, Kütahyalı stated, "It is the amount of money coming from the joint account that I used with my ex-wife, Nagehan Alçı. There is no suspicious transaction."

It was learned that the money transfers made after the divorce are also being comprehensively examined by MASAK, and it was reported that other financial movements are also being evaluated within the scope of the investigation.
