MILLIONS OF LIRAS IN TRANSACTIONS IN YANDAŞ’S ACCOUNTS

According to the MASAK report cited by Sabah, remarkable money movements were detected in Mert Hakan Yandaş’s bank accounts after 2017.

The report noted that, excluding internal transfers:

A total of 204 million 138 thousand 616 TL entered through 974 transactions,

And 207 million 475 thousand 422 TL exited through 3 thousand 747 transactions.

MASAK reported that 28 individuals and legal entities with whom Yandaş had financial relations have intelligence records related to illegal betting and gambling. It was stated that this information will be cross-referenced with other evidence in the investigation file.

According to the report, between 2017 and 2022, Mert Hakan Yandaş:

Deposited 115 thousand 317 TL into Bilyoner through 676 transactions,

And withdrew 42 thousand 250 TL through 17 transactions.

Furthermore, it was determined that he placed bets using 1006 different coupon IDs between 2016 and 2019.

ERSEN DİKMEN CONNECTION: 4.5 MILLION TL MONEY FLOW

According to MASAK’s findings, Yandaş sent 4 million 453 thousand 62 TL to Ersen Dikmen between December 4, 2021, and October 26, 2025.

This money was transferred to Bilyoner İnteraktif Hizmetler A.Ş. accounts as soon as it was sent. During the same period, it was determined that similar amounts were directed to other legal platforms such as Nesine and Misli.

While it was revealed that Dikmen sent a total of 2 million 60 thousand 974 TL to Yandaş during the same periods, the prosecutor’s office is investigating this money traffic under the possibility of a “betting fund transfer–reverse transfer.”

MASAK noted that after December 4, 2021, when Dikmen began receiving money from Mert Hakan Yandaş, he placed heavy bets on Fenerbahçe matches.

It was stated that the minutes when the coupons were placed and the timing of the money transfers overlapped strikingly.

The most striking section in the report concerned “player-specific bets” placed on Fenerbahçe’s national footballer İsmail Yüksek.

In MASAK’s examination, it was noted that:

“İsmail Yüksek will commit at least 3 fouls,”

“İsmail Yüksek will receive a card”

coupons were played with unusual frequency and resulted in winnings.
