Aybike Acer, who was arrested as part of the investigation into 'drugs' and 'prostitution' in Istanbul, stated in her testimony to the prosecutor's office, "I met with Hüseyin Köksal in the residential part of the building where the Zorlu Center shopping mall is located, at the invitation of my friend Gönül. When I went to the king suite, there was a group of 6-7 friends. Hüseyin Köksal, Emrah Bağdatlı, and Murat Ongun were also there. At that time, I did not know who these individuals were; I was not aware that they were recognized by the public."
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office's Smuggling, Narcotics, and Economic Crimes Investigation Bureau is conducting an investigation into 'drugs' and 'prostitution,' during which Aybike Acer, who was arrested, stated in her testimony at the prosecutor's office that she did not use drugs, did not facilitate anyone's use, but was present in environments where drugs were used.
DRUGS IN THE RESTAURANT'S VIP ROOM
Acer noted that drugs were used at a restaurant she went to for a friend's birthday celebration, specifying that the celebration took place in the part of the restaurant referred to as the VIP room. She mentioned that she knew the suspects Burcu Esra Büken and Fatma Genç.
Acer also stated that she knew Hüseyin Köksal, a detained defendant in the "Imamoğlu organized crime case," and recounted that about 4 years ago, she met with her friend named Gönül at a shopping mall, where Köksal, his girlfriend, and his driver were also present.
"HÜSEYİN KÖKSAL, EMRAH BAĞDATLI, AND MURAT ONGUN WERE THERE TOO"
Acer reported that Köksal left after a while and continued: "After some time, on the invitation of my friend Gönül, we met with Hüseyin Köksal in the residential part of the building where the Zorlu Center shopping mall is located. When I went to the mentioned royal suite, there was a group of 6-7 friends. Besides my friend Gönül and me, Hüseyin Köksal, (the fugitive in the Imamoğlu organized crime case) Emrah Bağdatlı, and (the detained defendant in the Imamoğlu organized crime case) Murat Ongun were also there. At that time, I did not know who these individuals were, nor did I know they were recognized by the public. During the investigations conducted against the İBB, I learned their true identities after seeing all three individuals on television. After having dinner and chatting together at the meeting, I left. Subsequently, I spoke with the person named Emrah Bağdatlı a few times over the phone and exchanged messages. I did not meet face to face with Emrah and the other individuals again."
