In the case of bank manager Seçil Erzan, who is alleged to have defrauded many people, including well-known figures such as Fatih Terim, Arda Turan, Fernando Muslera, and Emre Belözoğlu, with the promise of a high-yield secret fund, the prosecutor has presented their opinion on the merits.
2 YEARS SOUGHT FOR TERIM
The prosecutor requested a sentence of 362 years for Erzan for "qualified fraud" against 26 individuals, while seeking a 2-year sentence for Fatih Terim for "abuse of trust."
In the opinion, the acquittal of the bank's general manager Hakan Ateş and former deputy general manager Mehmet Aydoğdu was requested, while a conviction for Seçil Erzan for 'abuse of trust' and 'qualified fraud' was sought.
FROM THE INDICTMENT
In the indictment prepared by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it is noted that the defendant Seçil Erzan worked as a manager at a bank's branch in Levent and informed the complainant Bülent Çeviker that he would return 2 million dollars he received based on a personal trust relationship with a promise of high returns.
The indictment states that written documents were provided in exchange for money, but the complainant Çeviker later attempted to reach Erzan, which did not happen, and reported the situation to the bank, which conducted an investigation and a criminal complaint was filed against Erzan.
It is stated in the indictment that the defendant Erzan convinced complainants, including football players, business people, and individuals from various professions, that there was a reliable fund with high returns, and that well-known figures such as Fatih Terim and Hakan Ateş were involved in this fund, while it was determined that such a fund did not exist.
The indictment notes that Erzan created fake documents regarding the money given by the complainants, stamped these documents with the bank's seal and signed them, and acted with the intent to defraud.
HOW MUCH PRISON TIME IS SOUGHT?
Defendant Erzan is facing a prison sentence of 109 to 358 years for "forgery of private documents" and "qualified fraud committed by traders or company executives or persons acting on behalf of the company during commercial activities, including cooperative managers within the scope of the cooperative's activities."
In the indictment, it is requested that defendants Ali Yörük, Kerem Can, Hüseyin Eligül, Nazlı Can, Atilla Yörük, and Asiye Öztürk be sentenced to imprisonment ranging from 3 to 98 years for the same offenses, while defendant Rüya Sağır is sought to be sentenced to 3 to 10 years for "qualified fraud."
The indictment also requests that Süleyman Aslan and Mojtaba Haghani be sentenced to 2 to 6 years in prison for "usury" and fined between 500 days to 5,000 days, while Nur Erkasap is expected to be sentenced to 9 to 30 years in prison for "fraud committed by traders or company executives or persons acting on behalf of the company during commercial activities, including cooperative managers within the scope of the cooperative's activities."
In the indictment prepared by the Organized Crimes Investigation Bureau of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, which was decided to be combined with this case file, it is requested that Hakan Ateş and Mehmet Aydoğdu be sentenced to 72 to 240 years in prison for allegedly committing "qualified fraud" against 24 complainants.
