Bahar Candan and Nihal Candan, who were arrested for 'money laundering' as part of an investigation conducted by the Küçükçekmece Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, continue to be a hot topic.
It has emerged that Nihal Candan married Mehmet Faruk Çiçek 4 months ago.
The reason why Candan kept her 4-month-old marriage hidden from everyone has become clear.
HE WAS MARRIED TO A SYRIAN BUSINESSWOMAN
Çiçek was married to a Syrian businesswoman. After divorcing, he began a relationship with Nihal Candan. He did not want to announce this marriage for the sake of his children.
That Syrian businesswoman had also worked at Mehmet Faruk Çiçek's logistics company for a period. When Çiçek met Nihal Candan, dark clouds gathered over his marriage. Çiçek divorced his wife by mutual agreement and sat at the wedding table with Nihal Candan 4 months ago.
Nihal Candan, who shares everything, and her husband kept the wedding a secret to avoid further complications.
HE BROKE HIS SILENCE
Businessman Mehmet Faruk Çiçek made a statement through his lawyer following the reports in the press.
'IT WAS CONSCIOUSLY NOT ANNOUNCED'
The following statements were made in the statement issued by Çiçek's lawyer:
“Our client, Mehmet Faruk Çiçek, is not a subject of the investigation in question. Our client has not even been questioned as a person with knowledge, let alone as a suspect. Due to the traditions of the family to which Mehmet Faruk Çiçek belongs and their desire for privacy, the marriage he entered into with his wife, Nihal Candan, was consciously not announced to the public.
When the police teams arrived at the house, our client was in shock. He never imagined that they had come for his wife. He even said to the police officers who arrived, ‘I think you have come to the wrong address.’”
Businessman Mehmet Faruk Çiçek has two children from his first marriage.
