It has been learned that lawyer Rezan Epözdemir, who was arrested on charges of bribery, was also questioned about the photo that has come to the agenda within the scope of a terrorism investigation. Regarding the photo in which he was seen with MOSSAD and CIA agents, Epözdemir reportedly told the prosecutor, "I had to attend at the request of Gürsel Tekin in my capacity as the Secretary General of the CHP. I did not hear what was discussed at the table; everything was talked about far from me."
Lawyer Rezan Epözdemir was arrested by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on charges of "facilitating bribery" and "receiving bribes" as part of two separate investigations.
SPOTTED WITH A MOSSAD AND CIA AGENT
It has emerged that Epözdemir, who is also under a terrorism investigation, gave a statement to the prosecutor. Responding to a question about a photo in which he was seen with MOSSAD and CIA agents, Epözdemir said, "I don't remember exactly, but we stayed there for a very short time according to them. In fact, if you look at the photo, you will see that my plate is empty."
"I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE TABLE"
Although I don't remember exactly, as I mentioned before, we sat for about half an hour, 45 minutes, maybe an hour, and then we got up. I am sure we left early. I had to attend at the request of Gürsel Tekin in his capacity as the Secretary General of the CHP. I didn't hear what was discussed at the table; everything was talked about far from me," he said.
HTS RECORDS WERE SHOWN
In response to Epözdemir's statement, the prosecution showed HTS records, indicating that he stayed longer at the location than he claimed. Epözdemir replied to this question, saying, "After I got up from the table in the time frame I mentioned, I saw that my colleague, whom I also see as my older brother, F.E.Y., was also there. I remember going to their table. Therefore, I may have provided a basis until that time."
