Serdaroğlu stated that these allegations have caused serious repercussions in the public eye and called on Oktay and Soylu to hold a joint press conference to inform the public.
The allegations in question were raised by Halil Falyalı's former finance manager, Cemil Önal.
In an interview with journalist Ayşemden Akın, Önal claimed that Falyalı paid 20 million dollars to Süleyman Soylu to have cases closed, and a total of 50 million dollars in bribes to Fuat Oktay.
These allegations found wide resonance in the public and were covered by various media outlets.
Especially on social media, many clips from the interview were shared.
As is known, in the past, organized crime leader Sedat Peker had also explained that Halil Falyalı secretly recorded important figures to secure himself.

Former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu responded to Cemil Önal's allegations via his social media account. Describing these allegations as "slander and defamation," Soylu stated, "You cannot splash your rottenness and corruption onto us with mud of slander. We did not find our honor on the street."
