Seçil Erzan speaks out: The secret behind Fatih Terim's 300,000 dollars

Müslim SARIYAR/12punto.com.tr

Here is Seçil Erzan's defense in court:

"I will explain what I remember one by one. Ali gave me 5 million TL in September. After I paid him 2 million 586 thousand TL, he brought another 5 million TL in November. I wrote down one by one who I received money from and how much I gave to whom. He took 2 million 136 thousand TL from me. I gave a total of 4 million 550 thousand TL. And I completed this money to 7 and a half million TL for Ali and gave it to him. Because of Ali's victimization, I had to get more money for Ali."

"I PAID 2 MILLION DOLLARS TO LOAN SHARKS"

"I had an account in private banking. And I also utilized the interest provided by private banking in my account. I paid 2 million dollars to the people Ali calls loan sharks. Mr. Hüseyin gave me 15 thousand dollars and said, 'Do whatever you can, my daughter.' Hüseyin abi brought me money by collecting it from his surroundings.

Money comes to me next to the branch door, and Nazlı distributes that money among themselves outside the branch. At the end of the day, even though everyone received the money they brought from 20 people, they still say they are creditors. I couldn't even manage to die."

"SEMİH KAYA RECEIVED MORE FROM ME"

"Everyone was going to each other with papers in their hands, saying 'I have this much to receive, I have that much.' I was confused about who I received what from and how much I gave. Semih Kaya received more from me. His accountant took sacks of money from my office.

I gave Fırat Özdemir too much money. Merve Özer Yılmaz, Atilla Baltaş, Ali Yörük received nearly 3 and a half million dollars, Ayhan Akman received 750 thousand dollars, Ahmet Duran Gedik 400 thousand dollars, Süleyman Arslan, Barış Darı 55 thousand dollars, Mahmut Yılmaz 47 thousand 500 dollars, Serdar Şenol received a 20 thousand dollar commission and 400 thousand TL."

"YOU WON THE GRAND PRIZE"

"Musa Köse gave 50 thousand dollars and received 100 thousand dollars. Tayfun Akın made a profit of 50 thousand dollars. He received 400 thousand dollars more from me. Metin Taş, Moji received 250 thousand dollars from me; they were telling me, 'You won the grand prize from the national lottery, aren't you going to give this to me now?'

I didn't want my reputation to be ruined; I made a mistake and I am afraid. I am a bank branch manager, and there are 10 loan sharks on my mind. The moment I said I couldn't pay, they were threatening to cause a scandal at the bank.

I couldn't do the math; there was a deficit at that moment, and I was trembling. When it came to giving money, a branch manager engaging in money transactions outside the bank would have gotten me fired. Engaging in a money transaction with a client would have gotten me fired."

ANSWERED QUESTIONS

Among the questions asked to Seçil Erzan was, "How much of Arda Turan's money do you have?" Seçil Erzan answered this question as follows: "Arda Turan brought me money himself on November 2 and 3. Arda Turan brought over 10 million and received 7 million 950 thousand. Emre Belözoğlu did not receive any money. Mert Musa Çetin also did not receive any money. I received over 1 million from Selçuk İnan."

FATİH TERİM'S 300,000 DOLLAR INCIDENT

In the previous hearing, Erzan had pointed to Fatih Terim by claiming she received 300,000 dollars from someone in the Galatasaray community.

Erzan explained what she experienced regarding Fatih Terim in court.

Seçil Erzan spoke as follows: "Coach Fatih Terim had lost money and was angry; he wanted me to change the bank. He brought me 300,000 dollars and said, 'Evaluate this,' then he brought me 1 million dollars. Other than that, regarding the coach's account, from January 2022 to after April 2023, I gave all the money deposited by hand from this month onwards to Fatih Terim. All of these have dates. I already wrote that I gave the purple suitcase to Umut, who was his driver."

HEARING POSTPONED TO MAY 24

It was ruled that the detention of Seçil Erzan, who is alleged to have defrauded many people, including names such as Arda Turan, Fernando Muslera, and Emre Belözoğlu, with the promise of a high-yield private fund, will continue.

In its interim decision, the court decided to issue an instruction to Gaziantep to take the statement of Selçuk İnan and to issue a writ for some high-level bank employees to be present at the hearing, and postponed the hearing to May 24.
