The owner of Bellapais Beauty Center, which has 3 branches in Adana, Sinem Çekinmez, sold a large amount of service packages to her customers at prices lower than the market value.
FLED ABROAD
It is claimed that Çekinmez, who has not paid her employees' salaries for 5 months, fled abroad after taking loans from banks and a tradesmen's cooperative, and not paying her debts to suppliers.
Recently, employees who learned about the news in the morning went to the branches of the beauty center early in the morning. Employees, who looted the workplace in exchange for their receivables, took all the items such as computers, paintings, pots, tables, and chairs, especially the devices used in the operations, and loaded them into their vehicles. The employees, stating that they were defrauded, filed a criminal complaint against Sinem Çekinmez.
CLAIMED TO BE A VICTIM
Sinem Çekinmez, the owner of Bellapais Beauty Center, which is involved in fraud cases, published a video message on social media claiming that she was victimized.
Çekinmez said, "I couldn't pay salaries for 2 and a half months, that's true. We managed to get by together. Bellapais is a 23-year-old institution, and I have always worked to improve my business. I didn't even buy a house for myself. The villa I live in is rented. I promised the girls regarding their salaries, and I was ashamed when I couldn't fulfill that. If I were to be a fraudster, I wouldn't have allowed the looting of that company; I would have emptied the company beforehand, and no one would have known." she said.
"I WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM ADANA TO CLEAR MY MIND"
Çekinmez, who explained that she left Adana to clear her head, claimed that her workplace was looted by her core staff, saying, "When I boarded the plane to Istanbul, I saw on the camera that my core staff had started to loot my workplace. I called the police and reported it myself, saying they are looting my workplace. If I were a fraudster, why would I call the police myself? If I wanted to defraud people, I wouldn't wait 23 years to do it. I would do it after restoring my reputation." she stated.
"I INVESTED OVER 200 MILLION LIRAS"
Çekinmez, who stated that she invested over 200 million liras in her branch in the shopping mall, argued that she is not a fraudster, saying, "If I were a fraudster, I wouldn't have opened that branch, I wouldn't have invested. When my main core staff, as I call them, landed in Istanbul, they informed the loan sharks and piled trucks in front of my workplace, looting occurred. I trusted these people with my life and my home. I took these people on vacations abroad, I did everything. I have never been so wrong in my life. These eyes have seen what people can do for a device." she concluded.
