The couple Dilan Polat and Engin Polat, who frequently made headlines with their luxurious lifestyle and whose source of income was a subject of curiosity, were taken into custody on November 1. The couple, against whom an investigation was launched for money laundering, tax evasion, and establishing a criminal organization, were arrested and sent to prison.
Habertürk TV conducted an interview with Dilan Polat in prison through her lawyer.
Here are the highlights from Dilan Polat's interview from prison;
'WE EARNED IT BY WORKING'
“I don't even know what money laundering is in my life. We earned it by working. We don't even manufacture or import cosmetic products. The drug issue is also slander. It is neither money laundering, nor betting, nor a drug crime. All of these are slander, and I can no longer bear these slanders.
'WE HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THE BANU INCIDENT'
It is very clear that the Banu Parlak incident is a conspiracy. I have never, ever met the people mentioned in my life. Banu also has a child; how can a person make such a slander against a mother? We have nothing to do with this matter.
'I WISH I HADN'T MADE THOSE POSTS'
Even though I think malicious people used them, they are partially right. Those posts were made for my followers. They did not reflect my daily life. But I wish I had never done it, and I regret it.
WHO IS TAKING CARE OF THE CHILDREN?
The grandmother is taking care of the children. Their business outside is being handled by acquaintances and friends. I am suffering a lot. I tell Nilda that justice will be served. I felt very sorry for Şule.
'I CRY EVERY DAY'
"I talk to my husband on the phone once a week. I cry every day. I miss my family every day, I pray to God every day. I am not well at all, I am afraid of getting sick. I get very upset when I see news containing slander." She is in the same ward as her sister.
WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT THE PHOTO CALLED 'CHAMPIONS LEAGUE'?
Only four of these people are individuals with whom I have a franchise agreement. Other than that, I have no commercial or other connection with them. I felt very sorry for everyone at that table. I am very upset that a photo taken in a social setting years ago has created false news. I have no other connection with these people.”
