In the investigation, 5 people, including Beşir Ömer Demir, a bodyguard for New Party Erzincan MP Mustafa Sarıgül, were detained.
According to information obtained from Chief Public Prosecutor's Office officials, the investigation is ongoing. Within the scope of the file, 15 people, including Emir Sarıgül last night, and Ömer Sarıgül, Aylin Kotil, and journalist Murat Ağırel the day before, had been arrested.
Mustafa Sarıgül had previously used the following expressions regarding the allegations against him:
"I have been living in the public eye for nearly 50 years. Due to the work I have done and the positions I have held, I have been audited countless times by the necessary authorities. There is no investigation opened against me, nor is there any subject for which I cannot account."
