Lawyers head to prison following 'Dilan Polat will commit suicide' claim

According to reports, a phone call took place between the Polat couple in recent days.

During the call, Dilan Polat stated that her mental state had deteriorated, saying, "I want to commit suicide." It was reported that her lawyers went to the prison on an emergency basis following the conversation, which was recorded in prison logs.

Meanwhile, Engin Polat's relative and accountant, Gökay Bekar, has also been arrested in the investigation. This brings the total number of detainees to 16.

EFFECTIVE REMORSE APPLICATION FILED

While the investigation into Dilan and Engin Polat, who were arrested for money laundering and tax evasion, continues, very important information has emerged. The case of Dilan Polat and her husband Engin Polat, who were arrested for "violating the Law on Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime, the Tax Procedure Law, and the Law on Regulation of Betting and Games of Chance in Football and Other Sports Competitions," remains a hot topic on the agenda.

The most significant development in the file occurred last week with the effective remorse application of Ahmet Gün, who has been handling the family's accounting affairs for the last 3 years. Ahmet Gün is a figure who participated in the Polat family's money cycle by establishing a company in his daughter's name.

'IT WILL BE REVEALED AS A RESULT OF ANALYSIS'

In his statement to the prosecutor's office, Gün described the Polat family's trade, saying, "There are large amounts of money entering without corresponding goods. I suspect that the source of this money could be betting or another form of money laundering, but these are things that will be revealed as a result of analysis. In other words, there are large, unexplained money movements entering these companies' accounts in exchange for cancelled invoices."

Gün, who joined the Polat family's money cycle by having a company established for his daughter, could not convince the prosecutor to release him with this information, but it is possible that he may provide new details. In the investigation file, the Polat family's recent source of funds appears to be income from an online sales platform and a payment system.

'I HAVE SUSPICIONS'

The Polat family quickly converts this income into cash, issues invoices below the income, and begins circulating the money among their companies. This money does not appear to be betting revenue. The Polats' accountant, Ahmet Gün, pointed to illegal betting in his statement but did not go into detail. Gün conveyed the following claim to the prosecutor:

"I suspect that the source of this money could be betting or another form of money laundering, but these are things that will be revealed as a result of analysis. In other words, there are large, unexplained money movements entering these companies' accounts in exchange for cancelled invoices, but I have suspicions about whether the source of this is betting or another form of money laundering.

After November 2022, money of unknown origin may have been introduced into the system by making invoice cancellations in such large sales."
