In the second 'Seçil Erzan' case, the person to whom the bank manager Hatice gave the money was arrested.

In İzmir, it is claimed that the Branch Manager of Denizbank Bornova, Hatice Ö. (48), who attempted suicide and was subsequently hospitalized in the psychiatry department, defrauded 3 executives of Karşıyaka Sports Club and 4 businessmen of 250 million Turkish liras with the promise of high profit. The owner of the currency exchange office, S.Ç. (48), who is alleged to have received the money from Hatice Ö., was arrested at the courthouse yesterday. Meanwhile, the assets of Hatice Ö. and S.Ç. were also seized.

A new Seçil Erzan case occurred at Denizbank Bornova Branch. Hatice Ö., who was a member of the Board of Directors of Karşıyaka Sports Club and the President of Karşıyaka Youth Basketball Branch at that time, allegedly collected approximately 250 million TL from 3 executives of the club and 4 businessmen with the promise of high profit to invest in funds and gold. However, it is alleged that Hatice Ö. did not invest the collected money in the fund and did not buy gold, but sent the money to the owner of the currency exchange office, S.Ç. According to the allegations, Hatice Ö. occasionally sent money to the people she collected money from, but after a while, the businessmen realized that they were defrauded. The victims reported the situation to the police and filed a complaint against Hatice Ö.

REFUSES TO EAT

While the police initiated an investigation into the incident, Hatice Ö., who is alleged to have defrauded hundreds of people in a similar way, was issued an arrest warrant on June 27. The police teams, who started the operation to apprehend her, determined that Hatice Ö. had taken a large amount of medication and attempted suicide at her home. The teams found out that Hatice Ö., who regretted her suicide attempt and went to İzmir City Hospital for treatment, was not in a condition to give a statement. Hatice Ö., who does not eat, was then admitted to the psychiatry department. As part of the operation, bank employee E.Y. and currency exchange office employee A.A. were also detained and taken to the police station to give their statements. It was reported that the procedures for the suspects are ongoing.
