Emrah Gödeliner, a businessman and one of the founding members of the Ahbap Association who was arrested as part of the investigation into the association, stated that the association accounts under his name were used by Haluk Levent, saying, "When inspectors who came to audit the association in 2025 asked why those who sent money to my account wrote it that way, they told the auditors, 'We sent this money as a loan not to the association, but to a person named Haluk Levent.'"
Businessman Emrah Gödeliner, one of the founding members of the Ahbap Association who was arrested as part of an investigation into the association, said in his statement to the prosecutor's office, "The reason my financial profile is very high is because my accounts were used on behalf of a person named Haluk Levent."
The prosecutor's office statement of businessman Emrah Gödeliner, arrested as part of the investigation into the Ahbap Association, has emerged. In his statement to the prosecutor's office, Gödeliner stated that he did not want to benefit from the provision of effective remorse, saying, "I do not want to benefit from the provisions of effective remorse because I have not committed any crime. However, I will tell everything I know sincerely and truthfully."
"I NEVER USED THE ASSOCIATION'S BANK ACCOUNTS"
Gödeliner, who said he was one of the founding members of the Ahbap Association, said, "I was one of the founding members of the Ahbap Association. I was a board member. As far as I remember, I left my board membership in 2021. I asked the person named Haluk Levent to continue my insurance there. These accounts were never used by me and I had no authority. I also do not know who used them."
WHY DID ZAFER YAY AND ECE GÜNER SEND MILLIONS?
Claiming that the money transactions with Zafer Yay were due to Haluk Levent, Gödeliner said, "This money came in and out of my account on behalf of the person named Haluk Levent. In fact, he went to an official institution whose name I do not remember now and declared that he used these accounts. I do not know the source of the money. I know the names of the senders through the person named Haluk Levent. I have no information about where the money in question was used. These transfers were constantly made as debit-credit transfers."
When asked about the 47 million lira money inflow and outflow transactions with Ece Güner, Gödeliner said, "These transfers were constantly made as debit-credit transfers. This money is related to the debt relationship between the person named Ece Güner and the person named Haluk Levent. The reason for the formation of these money relationships stems from the person named Haluk Levent."
MONEY TRAFFIC WITH HALUK LEVENT'S ASSISTANT
Speaking about the money traffic with Yeliz Kaya, who was also arrested within the scope of the same file, Gödeliner said, "This money came in and out of my account on behalf of the person named Haluk Levent. Some parts of this incoming money were sent for the salary payments of Risus A.Ş. Due to the accounts being blocked, these money transfers were made from my account. The other part of the incoming money was from the person named Haluk Levent playing in an advertisement for a coin company. When the prices of this coin dropped, the citizens who bought it suffered losses. The person named Haluk Levent held himself responsible for playing in the advertisement, and I used the application named Binance to recover and pay these amounts. I made coin transactions to pay the victims' money, but I was not successful."
Regarding the money transactions related to many names mentioned in the file, Gödeliner said, "I do not know the source of the money. I also have no information about where the money in question was used. These transfers were constantly made as debit-credit transfers."
"THE REASON MY FINANCIAL PROFILE IS VERY HIGH IS HALUK LEVENT"
Regarding the high-volume money transactions made with explanations such as "given as a loan to the Ahbap Association" and "entrusted to the Ahbap Association", Gödeliner said, "The reason my financial profile is very high is that my accounts were used on behalf of the person named Haluk Levent. When the inspectors who came to audit the association in 2025 asked why the descriptions of the senders of this money to my account were written that way, the individuals who sent money to my account told the inspectors, 'We sent this money not to the association but as a loan to the person named Haluk Levent.' They stated that the relevant explanations were written by mistake. The reason for these money transactions is that the person named Haluk Levent used my account. I do not know where, how, or to whom this money was transferred."
ATTEMPTED FORGERY ON THE RECEIPT
When asked about Ali Barış Kaya asking Emrah Gödeliner to change the information in a screenshot of $17,000 and asked him to make it $117,000, Gödeliner said, "I cannot remember what type of receipt it is at the moment. I do not remember why or how it was intended to be changed on this receipt. I told him that I did not have the necessary program for the change."
Gödeliner said, "Volkan informed the inspectors that he sent it as a loan. He also stated that this money was actually sent not to Ahbap but to the person named Haluk Levent. Haluk Levent writing the relevant note is actually a personal request for a loan, not a donation. This payment was also repaid."
"I DID NOT OBTAIN FINANCIAL BENEFIT"
At the end of his statement, Gödeliner argued that he did not obtain any benefit, saying, "I did not obtain any material or moral benefit by using the name of the Ahbap Association. Likewise, my relatives and friends did not benefit in any way. The account movements in question are entirely related to Haluk Levent. I will urgently submit the digital materials that will prove these works and transactions to the investigation file through myself or my lawyers."
