In the illegal betting operation, 23 companies, including Bank Pozitif, Payfix, and Flash Haber TV, were seized, while 51 suspects, including Erkan Kork, the owner of Flash TV who is alleged to be the organization leader, were detained on March 14. Of the suspects whose procedures at the police were completed, 31 were referred to the courthouse yesterday. Among the suspects who gave statements to the investigation prosecutor, 21, including Erkan Kork, were arrested, while 10 were released under judicial control measures.
HIS STATEMENT EMERGED The details of the statement given by Erkan Kork, who was arrested for "establishing an organization for the purpose of committing a crime and being a member of the established organization," "laundering assets derived from crime," and "violating the Law No. 7258 on the Regulation of Betting and Gambling in Football and Other Sports Competitions," have also emerged.
HE REVEALED HIS INCOME AS 500 THOUSAND LIRA According to the news on Halk TV, Erkan Kork, who declared his monthly income as 500 thousand TL in court, denied the accusations against him. He began his statement by saying, "Today, I stand before you as a businessman who has paid his taxes. I am also here as a board member of Bank Pozitif, which is owned by Israel," and continued with the following:
"NO DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND" "I am publishing in accordance with Turkish customs and traditions by purchasing Flash Haber. There is not a single document or evidence asked of me. I have been under technical and physical surveillance for a long time. However, not a single piece of information or document has been found. We are being accused of these crimes to be lynched in the public eye by some operational circles."
"I RECEIVED A 'CLEAN' REPORT ON JANUARY 9" Pointing out that he is being tried for many of the accusations against him at the Istanbul 23rd Criminal Court of First Instance, Erkan Kork said, "I am sure that justice will be served very soon. Last year, we purchased Bank Pozitif and Pay Fix. We obtained a license due to cryptocurrency. We received a clean report when we bought Flash TV on January 9. While these crimes are attributed to me, why was I given a 'clean' report while carrying out all these transactions?"
One of Kork's lawyers stated that his client underwent a Bylock investigation in 2017 and that they received a non-prosecution decision from that file. Another lawyer of Kork mentioned that his client is a philanthropist and has built a school in the earthquake zone through the governorships.
Actress Meltem Beydilli ACTRESS MELTEM BEYDİLLİ IS ALSO DETAINED While Erkan Kork declared his monthly income as 500 thousand TL, his employee Hülya Turan stated that she has a monthly income of 600 thousand TL. Actress Meltem Beydilli, who was detained along with her mother Hülya Turan, said, "I act in TV series and movies." Beydilli mentioned that she worked for Kork's company for about 6 months. She stated that Kork has been a family friend and has supported them both financially and spiritually since her childhood. Beydilli pointed out that Kork was the producer of the movie 'Hain,' which was released last year, and explained that the money she received from Kork's company, Fix 360, was for 'acting fees.'
