Group Deputy Chairman Murat Emir issued a written statement regarding the process discussed in the public eye as the “fund crisis.” Emir stated that the explanations coming from the ruling party front are creating new question marks instead of clarifying the allegations.
In a statement made on his X account, Emir noted that it has been claimed that a swindle amounting to 187 billion 653 million liras was carried out through the Tera, Pusula, and Hedef funds, and that a total of 214 actors, 141 of whom are individuals and 73 of whom are legal entities, are being mentioned.
Questioning the legal basis of the method that has come to the agenda as “voluntary return,” Emir assessed, “You cannot turn the state's judiciary into a mediator or a collection agency for organized crime perpetrators.”
AT LEAST DOUBLE MUST BE PAID
Arguing that it has not been disclosed who has made returns and how much they have returned to date, Emir demanded that the public be informed whether account freezes and asset seizures have been applied to the 214 actors under Article 128 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CMK). Emir also asked whether trustees have been appointed to the 73 companies.
Pointing to Article 107/3 of the Capital Markets Law, Emir stated that for effective remorse, at least double the profit obtained must be paid directly to the Treasury. He expressed that payments made after an official investigation has been opened would not eliminate the penalty, but could only provide a reduction.
In his statement, Emir posed the question, “Who is in the 214-person crime consortium, and who are the perpetrators being protected from?” and demanded an explanation as to whether the structure extending from fund management to intermediaries is being investigated under the scope of qualified fraud and organized crime.
