The Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into Engin and Dilan Polat, along with 24 other suspects, on charges of "laundering proceeds of crime, violating the Tax Procedure Law, and violating the law on the regulation of betting and games of chance in football and other sports competitions."

The 12 individuals referred to the court were arrested and sent to prison.

Following the statement made by Dilan Polat's lawyer in the courtroom, "Dilan Polat's father killed her mother. She had a traumatic life. She married Engin Polat when she was 17," the murder that took place on October 8, 2001, in Körfez, Kocaeli, has returned to the agenda.

RIFAT DOĞU KILLED HIS WIFE WITH A GUN

Dilan Polat's father, Rıfat Doğu, who was reported to have worked with base stations at the time, killed her mother, Nihal Ayhan Doğu, with a gun.

In recent months, Dilan Polat, who appeared on the program Katarsis, stated that she was 11 years old at the time of the murder and described that day as follows:

I think everyone was scared by the sound of the gun. I counted 7 bullets. The aunt who was our neighbor across the hall came. Immediately after her, the police, the ambulance, my uncles, and my aunts arrived."

'WE WERE GOING TO HOLD HANDS AND JUMP OFF THE ROOF'

That moment came to my mind. Now they are going to come and say 'Your mother is dead.' That was the moment Sıla and I held hands and were going to jump off the roof. Just then, Can Doğu arrived, and we gave up. My aunts took us and brought us to their house. Can was two years old at the time. He even wanted to breastfeed from my mother, who was lying in blood on the floor. I breastfed Can for 1 month..."
