Timur Cihantimur's father files criminal complaint against his lawyers! 'I was defrauded of 15.8 million TL'

Doctor Bülent Cihantimur, the father of Timur Cihantimur—who, at the age of 17 in 2024, allegedly struck and caused the death of 29-year-old Oğuz Murat Aci while driving in Eyüpsultan—has filed a criminal complaint with the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against some of his lawyers, alleging they defrauded him of approximately 15 million 800 thousand Turkish Lira with the promise that they would ensure the removal of the judicial control measures imposed on him. In the criminal complaint petition submitted to the Prosecutor's Office, Bülent Cihantimur is listed as the 'complainant,' while M.V., G.I., M.I., and Y.I. are listed as 'suspects.'

''THEY DEFRAUDED HIM OF 15 MILLION 800 THOUSAND LIRA BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DIFFICULT SITUATION AND CONDITIONS HE WAS IN''

The petition stated that Bülent Cihantimur had been placed under judicial control in the form of a 'travel ban' due to a case against him, noting, "He made the necessary legal applications regarding this matter through his lawyers; however, this judicial control decision could not be lifted, and the client's victimization continued to increase. The suspects, aware of the client's victimization, met with the client several times and convinced him by saying they would lift the travel ban. The suspects, acting in unity of thought and action, took advantage of the difficult situation and conditions of the client, who was under a 'travel ban' and in a difficult position, and defrauded him of 15 million 800 thousand Turkish Lira by deceiving him with the promise that a certain task would be performed, claiming they had 'influential' relationships with public officials."

The criminal complaint petition also requested that a freeze be placed on the suspects' accounts.
