Engin Polat and his wife Dilan Polat, along with 12 other influencers they shared as a 'champions league', remain under investigation, while a separate investigation is being conducted into doctor Tayyar Öz and his influencer wife Özlem Öz.
Within the scope of the investigation carried out by the Istanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the court decided to appoint trustees to the couple's companies.
DECISION TO APPOINT TRUSTEES
Trustees were appointed to the companies of the Öz couple, who are being investigated for 5 separate crimes: "establishing an organization for the purpose of committing crimes," "being a member of an organization established for the purpose of committing crimes," "laundering assets derived from illicit sources," "forgery of official documents," and "violation of the Tax Procedure Law."
The reasoning behind the appointment of trustees by the Criminal Judgeship of Peace, as requested by the Istanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, has been obtained.
'STRONG SUSPICION LEADS TO SEIZURE OF ASSETS'
According to the report by Sabah, the court appointed trustees to the couple's companies: Medelina Sağlık ve Reklam Hizmetleri LTD. ŞTİ., Özlem Öz Sağlık ve Güzellik LTD. ŞTİ., and Enila Tekstil Ürünleri ve Kozmetik TİC. LTD. ŞTİ. (in liquidation).
The decision stated that their assets were first seized in accordance with the Law on Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime, which allows for the seizure of assets "in cases where there is strong suspicion that the crimes of money laundering and financing of terrorism have been committed."
'IF THERE IS AN ORGANIZATION, TRUSTEES ARE APPOINTED'
The decision further noted that, in accordance with the relevant articles of the law, in cases where there is strong suspicion based on concrete evidence that a crime has been committed and that income has been derived from these crimes, trustees shall be appointed to companies in instances where the crime of "establishing an organization for the purpose of committing crimes" has been established.
