Their assets had been seized: Did the couple Özlem Öz and Tayyar Öz flee abroad?

Following the arrest of Dilan Polat and Engin Polat, who were constantly in the news for their luxurious lifestyles, on charges of money laundering and tax evasion, investigations launched into social media influencers continue.

While a travel ban was imposed on the couple Özlem Öz and Tayyar Öz, who are under investigation for 4 different crimes, all of their assets were also seized.

STATEMENT FROM THEIR LAWYER

It was alleged that the influencer couple had fled abroad. The couple's lawyer, Serhat Çelik, made a statement regarding the claims.

In a post shared on his social media account, Çetin said:

"In my beautiful country where concrete facts find no buyers, speculative accusations and slanders are practically bestsellers! Our influencer candidates, who lynch influencers by participating in the broadcasts they host, receive great appreciation. Now, as the lawyer for the case, if I were to say that the Range Rover with the ELA license plate will turn 5 years old in 1 month and was purchased for 6 million months ago, it wouldn't suit anyone to believe it. But if someone else picks up their phone and says the same vehicle is brand new and worth 40 - 50 million TL, it's met with thunderous applause.

"THE ÖZ FAMILY HAS NOT FLED ANYWHERE"

If I say, 'The Öz family sells products officially on shopping platforms named Trend. and Hepsi..., and pays hundreds of thousands to millions in taxes every month, and I have the documents in hand,' it's not considered news. But when someone else says, 'The Tayyargiller family doesn't pay a single penny in taxes, and there are dark figures behind them,' the applause is in the air again. 'Stop sending me fake news like they fled and left for no reason. No one has fled anywhere.

"THEY ARE WAITING WITH THEIR CHILDREN AT THEIR OFFICIAL RESIDENCE"

Until the judicial law enforcement completes its work and the investigating prosecutor makes their decision, the Öz family will be waiting with their children at their official residence! Whether they are invited to give a statement or a dawn raid is conducted. They will not answer calls from +1 numbers. They will not pay extortion money to anyone so that fake accounts do not spread fabricated news. And we will continue to identify statements containing insults and slander. Because that is what should be done."
