Müslim SARIYAR / 12punto.com.tr

New messages have emerged from Nazlı Can, a relative of banker Seçil Erzan, who is being tried while in custody in the case involving the defrauding of football players and business people by creating an imaginary fund.

A handwritten note drew attention in the phone records of Nazlı Can, which were examined as part of the investigation.

The note, which is believed to have been written by Seçil Erzan, contains the following statements:

"Sekin, let Nazlı handle the Nuri house and Bozcaada Göktürk issues. Nuri must find me the best lawyer; it is essential that you find the best criminal lawyer who understands banking law. Important, the bank is still positive, old items, sneakers, plenty of rescue plans for the island and houses, how are things there, is there anything you want to tell me? How is Candaş doing? What is happening outside? Tell my mother I am abroad"

SHE SOLD HER CAR AFTER THE INCIDENT CAME TO LIGHT

One of the details that emerged is that Nazlı Can sold her vehicle shortly after the incident broke out.

Messages regarding the vehicle that Can sold to Leyla Y. were included in the report.

SHE ALSO DEFRAUDED SOME PEOPLE IN ÇORLU

Nazlı Can, who sent a news report about the fraud incident to Arda Turan, states in a message exchange on her phone with a user named 'Nuri2' that Seçil Erzan had also defrauded some people while she was in Çorlu. In the exchange, Nuri2 says, "How did it come to this! She hasn't even done herself any good."

Nazlı replies to this message by saying, "A lot of things are coming out, brother. They said she even finished off Mado in Çorlu back then."

Nazlı Can responds to the user named Nuri2, who said, "Seeing these situations, I am hesitant to stand by her," by saying, "She swindled my Caner's in-laws, and on top of that, she also swindled his son separately. People don't know about each other."

MONEY HAS BEEN COLLECTED SINCE 2019

In her WhatsApp messages, Nazlı Can emphasizes in a conversation she had on April 10, 2023, with a user named 'nilgünyenge' that they had been collecting money in 2019.

In the message she sent to the user named 'Nilgünyenge', Nazlı Can says, “Seçil, I don't have that much money that would be exposed either. Compared to the millions, ours is peanuts; if you could just organize those big ones in your head... Also, for example, they gave it in TL in 2019 and never touched it. How will the difference be covered with today's inflation?

Look, you gave 50 thousand TL to a kid who was with Ayhan Akman. It might seem small to you, but don't forget. We gave these, but then we collected them again. Şennur gave 280 thousand liras in 2019 but never took it back. And there are the Sevim sisters. They gave 2 thousand 250 TL in September 2019.”

Following this exchange, Nazlı Can sends a list of names from whom the money was collected.

It is alleged that the message was written by Nazlı Can addressed to Seçil Erzan.

According to previous conversations, it is understood that the person referred to as 'Nilgünyenge' went to see Seçil Erzan.

It was revealed that after the incident broke out, Seçil Erzan did not use her own phones and instead used the phones of the relatives around her.

'THEY COULD TAKE ME INTO CUSTODY AT ANY MOMENT'

On April 21, Nazlı Can is seen telling a user named 'Serkanamerika', "The events are huge, Serkan! I can't even understand, how will you understand? We also have quite a lot of financial loss. We can't tell anyone anything. They could call me for a statement or something at any moment. I hadn't been meeting with Seçil for the last two months anyway, but before that, we also thought the money was being withdrawn from the fund and we took it here and there."

NAZLI CAN IS A SUSPECT IN THE INDICTMENT

Nazlı Can, who was detained in the operation conducted after Seçil Erzan's arrest, was arrested and sent to prison on April 28.

Nazlı Can, who was released at the first hearing, is being tried according to the announced indictment on charges of “Fraud during the commercial activities of those who are merchants or company managers or acting on behalf of the company; Fraud within the scope of the activities of cooperative managers.”
