Selen Görgüzel, who was questioned as a suspect in the investigation, stated that she was shown a photo taken on a private plane at the prosecutor's office and later learned that the plane she boarded upon returning from her holiday in Cyprus was "Imamoğlu's private jet." While the repercussions of the incident continue, photos taken on the plane belonging to Görgüzel, who said, "If I had known the plane was Imamoğlu's private jet, I wouldn't have used it," have also emerged.
After being detained as part of a drug investigation in Istanbul, Selen Görgüzel, who was released under judicial control on charges of "prostitution" and "buying, accepting, or possessing drugs or stimulants for personal use, or using drugs or stimulants," drew attention with the detail of "private jet" mentioned in her statement to the prosecutor. It was learned that during her statement, a photo taken with the suspect Rabia Karaca on a private jet was shown to Görgüzel, who also stated that she boarded this plane after her holiday in Cyprus.
ALLEGATION OF "EMEL MÜFTÜOĞLU SENT ME"
Görgüzel claimed that she was sent on the Cyprus holiday by Emel Müftüoğlu. In her statement, Görgüzel alleged that Müftüoğlu obtained a casino chip from Murat Gülibrahimoğlu, who is referred to as the fugitive defendant in the "İmamoğlu organized crime investigation," for gambling, and claimed that Gülibrahimoğlu and Müftüoğlu played high-stakes gambling.
"IF I HAD KNOWN IT WAS İMAMOĞLU'S PRIVATE JET..."
In her statement, Görgüzel mentioned that there were some other people on the holiday, and that Gülibrahimoğlu and his companions moved to a private room to continue gambling. Claiming that she did not encourage anyone to engage in prostitution during the holiday, Görgüzel said, "I learned much later that the plane I boarded on the way back was the private jet used by Ekrem İmamoğlu. If I had known that this plane was İmamoğlu's private jet, I would not have used it."
"I DEFINITELY DID NOT USE DRUGS ON THIS PLANE"
Stating that she did not enter the closed room on the plane, Görgüzel noted that she could not remember the details of the conversations about money and drugs as a lot of time had passed, and she used the expression, "I definitely did not use drugs on this plane." Görgüzel also mentioned that she saw some young women frequently going back and forth to the back room on the plane, and warned them by saying, "Isn't it a shame, you are letting yourselves be used," claiming that she did not know who sent these individuals.
PHOTOS EMERGED
While the repercussions of this event, which hit the agenda like a bomb, continue, the photos shown to Selen Görgüzel during her statement have emerged. In the photos, Görgüzel was observed to be quite cheerful.
