Statement from Dilan and Engin Polat's lawyer: 'The truth will emerge'

The investigation into the source of the wealth of Dilan Polat and her husband Engin Polat, who have made headlines with their luxurious lifestyles and have millions of followers on social media, continues.

All assets of the Polat couple, who are accused of money laundering and tax evasion, have been seized.

A written statement was issued by the lawyer for the couple, who have also been issued a travel ban.

The statement included the following remarks:

“This statement has become necessary due to the speculative news that has occupied the public agenda for a long time regarding our clients Engin Polat and Dilan Polat. As is known, an investigation was initiated against our clients by the Istanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office as a result of baseless reports, unfounded allegations, and slanders made against them, and a press release was issued to the public by the Istanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on 22.10.2023 stating that the necessary investigation is being conducted meticulously.”

“There is no doubt that the legal authorities of the Republic of Turkey will conduct the investigations in question and ensure that the material truth emerges. However, we see with regret that many baseless and unsubstantiated allegations, unrelated to the subject of the investigation, are still being served to the public by certain individuals solely to create an agenda, and that the aim is to intentionally lynch our clients.”

“THEIR FAITH IN THE TURKISH JUDICIARY IS INFINITE”

“We declare that we will follow the necessary legal process against individuals and legal entities who use this process for their own benefit to make baseless statements to the public and serve untrue information that damages the personal rights of our clients, and that we reserve all our rights to file lawsuits and complaints in this regard.

Our clients have promptly delivered all kinds of information and documents requested by all official institutions regarding the initiated legal process to the relevant institutions.

We inform the public that our clients are waiting for the conclusion of the legal process and will continue their ordinary lives until the legal process is concluded. Because our clients have infinite faith in the judicial authorities and the Turkish judiciary.”

“In light of these statements, we request that the smear campaigns being attempted to be created in the public eye not be given credence, and that the judicial authorities be trusted regarding the process, and we respectfully announce this to the public.”
