"We celebrate everyone's Ramadan Bayram with our sincerest wishes. For the first time, we are spending a holiday away from our family and our children.

Until that day comes, we are waiting with composure. Do not forget us in your prayers... Happy holidays."

WHAT IS THE DİLAN POLAT - ENGİN POLAT CASE?

Within the scope of the investigation, a preliminary report was prepared by the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) regarding the suspects, including the Polat couple, whose digital materials and ledgers were seized during searches conducted at their companies. The report determined that 200 million lira had entered the accounts of companies belonging to family members from 3 companies in liquidation through the method of issuing fake invoices in exchange for fictitious trade.

Continuing their work within the scope of the investigation, teams determined that a medical company owned by Dilan and Engin Polat had granted naming rights to another firm in Ankara, and that an attempt was made to transfer 1 million 800 thousand lira in that firm's account to the personal accounts of the partners.

The teams, which placed a block on the money, detained 4 suspects, and 3 more suspects sought in the expanded investigation were later apprehended.

Within the scope of the investigation, 14 of the suspects, including Dilan Polat, Engin Polat, and Sıla Doğu, were arrested, while 9 were released under judicial control conditions.
