Fatih Terim's testimony in the Seçil Erzan case revealed! 'When I heard about the incident, my money...'

The fraud chain, which began when manager Fatih Terim gave 300 thousand dollars to Denizbank Levent Branch Manager and his former financial advisor Seçil Erzan, and which eventually became known as the 'Fatih Terim Fund,' involves the names of many people, including Arda Turan, Emre Belözoğlu, Fernando Muslera, Volkan Bahçekapılı, Buse Terim, and Selçuk İnan. 

Seçil Erzan, who faces a potential 226-year prison sentence for allegedly defrauding 18 people, appeared before the judge in recent days.

FATİH TERİM'S TESTIMONY REVEALED

While the correspondence and videos submitted to the court by Arda Turan regarding the case have caused a major stir in public opinion, the testimony of manager Fatih Terim has also been revealed.

"WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE ERZAN INCIDENT, I TRANSFERRED MY MONEY TO MY WIFE'S ACCOUNT"

According to the report on Halk TV, Terim's testimony, which has been entered into the case file, is as follows:

"I have been a manager for many years. I have been resting for the last year. I have known Seçil Erzan for about 5-6 years. As far as I remember, I have also been a Denizbank customer for 11 years. Due to my busy schedule, I cannot follow up, and I have never been to the bank. I have no connection, direct or indirect, to the fund in the file. No one asked me for money for this fund. I never gave any money to Seçil Erzan for this fund. When I heard about the Erzan incident, I transferred my money to my wife's account. On April 6, I corresponded with Denizbank employee Rüya Hanım to find out what was happening in my account. She sent me a message saying she would send the information. The Excel table she sent contained 3 items. The information was listed as 219,300 USD, 47,400 TL (TL Deposit), and a custody O/N of 3 Million USD. I determined that the 219,300 USD and 47,400 TL (TL Deposit) from the items mentioned above, which were sent to me via message, had arrived in my wife's account, but the 3,000,000 USD has still not been sent. First and foremost, I am filing a complaint against Rüya Hanım, who works at Denizbank, because they still have not given me my 3,000,000 USD."

ARDA TURAN ASKED SEÇİL ERZAN, "IS HOCA MAKING A PROFIT ON THIS?"

Correspondence and conversation records between Arda Turan, who was defrauded of 7.5 million dollars by banker Seçil Erzan, and Erzan have been revealed. According to the correspondence, Turan, who said "I have 20 thousand dollars left," stated that he was about to go to loan sharks to find money. In the conversation, regarding Turan's question referring to Fatih Terim, "Well, is Hoca making a profit on this?", banker Seçil Erzan replied "yes."

According to the report by Dinçer Gökçe from Halk TV, a series of WhatsApp messages and transcripts of conversation records have been obtained that were entered into the case file where Erzan and her associates are being tried for allegedly collecting 44 million dollars from over 20 people, including many Galatasaray football players, under the name of the "Fatih Terim Fund."

ARDA TURAN AND SEÇİL ERZAN'S CORRESPONDENCE

According to Sözcü columnist İsmail Saymaz, the correspondence Arda Turan submitted to the prosecutor's office with Seçil Erzan is as follows:

Turan: I brought you a world of money, Seçil, my fortune was with you. If you took this money for someone, tell me. Did it go to interest?

Erzan: No, it didn't go to interest.

Turan: People are calling me. I'm in a difficult situation. How many people are there in total, Seçil? 100 people? Are there records?

Erzan: All of them... 21-22

Turan: Look, listen carefully to what I'm going to say. We are keeping the prosecutor's office and the police involved. We are not letting anyone go anywhere. You will tell the truth so we can try to solve it with the bank.

Erzan: Let it be a maximum of 25 people. There aren't even that many.

Turan: If it's 25 people, we can sit down and talk. Do you know our losses?

Erzan: I know who is at a loss.

Turan: Is Fatih Hoca making a profit?

Erzan: Under normal circumstances, he was making a profit.

Turan: Why did you get into this business? Why did you drag us into this? Was the fund a lie?

Erzan: At first, I tried to set something up on my own, it didn't progress.

Turan: Did a part of this money sink somewhere?

Erzan: Are you going to meet with Hakan Ateş (Denizbank General Manager) at 8:30?

Turan: Me, Emre Belözoğlu, Fatih Hoca. If you don't give the list, if the men don't accept the grievance, everyone will go to the prosecutor's office. You will be arrested in an hour.

…Turan: I am the one who is most aggrieved.

Erzan: Of course, you were the one who put in and took out the most.

Turan: Oh Seçil, you made me sell my land. Seçil, what am I going to do? What am I going to tell my wife now, Seçil?
