It was alleged that Emir Sarıgül, who was arrested in a money laundering investigation, came face to face with Ekrem İmamoğlu, who is detained in prison, during a meeting with his lawyer; Sarıgül reacted to İmamoğlu's words "You sold out Özgür Özel" by saying "You're all fucking frauds."
Emir Sarıgül, who was arrested as part of the money laundering investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office into CHP Erzincan MP Mustafa Sarıgül and his family, has now made headlines over an alleged heated argument at the Marmara Closed Penal Institution.
TENSE DUEL AT LAWYER VISIT
According to Sabah's report, Emir Sarıgül, who is detained as part of the investigation, encountered Ekrem İmamoğlu, who is detained in the same prison within the scope of the corruption and bribery investigation, in the lawyer visit area. The verbal clash between the two, which started over allegations concerning Özgür Özel, quickly escalated.
'YOU'RE ALL FRAUDSTERS, DAMN IT'
According to the allegation, Ekrem İmamoğlu reacted by shouting loudly at Emir Sarıgül, whom he encountered in the lawyer visit room, with the words 'You sold out Özgür Özel.' Sarıgül, who responded to this accusation in harsh terms, was alleged to have shouted at İmamoğlu, 'Shut up, damn fraudster; you're all fraudsters, damn you.'
EMİR SARIGÜL'S TESTIMONY HAD SHAKEN THE AGENDA
Emir Sarıgül, who is detained on the charge of 'Establishing an Organization for the Purpose of Committing a Crime,' had made sensational allegations in his statement to the prosecutor's office regarding the party's founding process. Emir Sarıgül, who claimed that his father Mustafa Sarıgül provided financial support to Özgür Özel, made the following allegations: 'My father personally told me that he left 250 thousand dollars in Özgür Özel's vehicle at the exit of a restaurant in Ankara's Ümitköy for the interior furnishing of the party headquarters. In addition, another payment of 250 thousand dollars or euros for the sound system and interior design of the party bus was handed over in cash at a fish restaurant visited after the hearing in Silivri.'
The investigation into the laundering of criminal proceeds through domestic and foreign companies in relation to the Sarıgül family continues on multiple fronts.
