It was claimed that Erhan Nacar, who was once a social security expert and astrologer appearing on television programs, sold the dream of retirement under the EYT (Elderly Retirement Law) in Turkey for money to many Turks living abroad.
It is claimed that Erhan Nacar, who appeared on television programs as a social security expert and astrolog for a period, defrauded many Turks living abroad by promising them retirement.
It was reported that Nacar, who appeared on Turkish channels broadcasting abroad and gave seminars about retirement in various places in European countries, did not make any payments to the Social Security Institution (SGK) for the expatriates who paid him. Many Turks from all over the world, who have been trying to get their money back for 2 years, came to Turkey to file complaints.
Separate sentences of up to 26 years in prison were requested for Nacar and 4 suspects he acted with for the crime of 'fraud' at the Ankara 16th High Criminal Court.
"A VICTIM HAD A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE OF THIS MAN"
Aysel Aydın (60), an expatriate living in France, said, "I also gave 28,700 euros. They asked me to get a power of attorney. We also paid 500 euros for the power of attorney fee. We sent the money for retirement. During the power of attorney process, the Turkish Consulate in France warned us. They said, 'This person is a fraudster.' He threatens to report us. When we ask for our money, he says he won't give it. A victim had a heart attack because of this man. We have been waiting for our money for a year. I have also suffered from my health because of this situation."
26 YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT REQUESTED
A complaint was filed against Erhan Nacar for defrauding another person a total of 32,000 euros. An investigation was initiated by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. As a result of the investigation, the prosecutor's office prepared an indictment. The indictment stated that the suspects acted in unison and noted that the crime was committed in a chain manner.
In the indictment, a request for up to 26 years in prison was made for the suspects Erhan Nacar, Ayşegül Kalaycı, İnci Balcı, Mete Korkmaz, and Ülkü Seyfi for the crime of qualified fraud. The trial of Erhan Nacar and the other 4 suspects is ongoing at the Ankara 16th High Criminal Court. It was also learned that the investigations of other victims who filed complaints against Erhan Nacar are still ongoing.
RESPONDED TO THE ALLEGATIONS
Erhan Nacar responded to the allegations against him as follows: "There is not as much money as they say, I do not accept the accusations at all. There is no situation of not paying. I tell them that I will pay, but they want more than I can give. They are trying to tarnish my reputation. Let them come. They can take as much as they have paid me.
Their intention is to portray me badly in Europe. I have many clients. Since a new law came into effect in 2019, their files have been pending. We are already trying to resolve this situation. They are threatening me by using the press and asking for more money. They are trying to gain unfair profits from me. I recently had a brain hemorrhage. That is why the process has been delayed."
