The net tightens in the 'Fatih Terim Fund' case: 'A witness letter arrived from prison'

Following the arrest of former Denizbank Branch Manager Seçil Erzan in the high-interest, foreign-currency-based fund scandal publicly known as the "Fatih Terim Fund," a witness who did not wish to disclose their name has applied to the prosecutor's office.

WITNESS LETTER TO THE PROSECUTOR

According to a report by Can Bursalı from Gazete Duvar, the witness, who is serving a 26-year prison sentence for crimes including producing fake bank or credit cards, profiting from fake cards, and fraud using information systems, sent a handwritten tip-off letter to the prosecutor's office from prison on May 8.

DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER WAS ALSO INVOLVED

Upon receiving this letter, the prosecutor's office wrote to the prison where the witness is being held, requesting that they be prepared to provide testimony via SEGBİS (Audio and Visual Information System). In the testimony taken by the prosecutor on May 18, shortly after Erzan's arrest, the witness alleged that B.O., who served as a manager at a Denizbank branch in İzmir, and Denizbank Deputy General Manager T.K. acted in concert.

ALLEGATIONS OF FOREIGN TRANSFERS

The witness stated, "Erzan and B.O. were friends and there may have been a romantic relationship between them." The witness claimed that B.O., whom they identified as the uncle of their ex-spouse, frequently mentioned the bank's Deputy General Manager T.K. during conversations at his home, adding, "What I mean exactly is that B.O., Seçil Erzan, and the Deputy General Manager named T. were involved in a scheme, that they took money from people and suddenly became very wealthy, and that they took this money abroad."

The witness's statement also included the allegation that Erzan laundered the money she obtained by defrauding many people abroad through B.O.
