A 22-year-old named Burak Sevinç, who works in a household goods store in Ankara, has been subjected to 17 separate fraud investigations after opening a bank account and providing his card information at the request of his friend H.B.U. regarding an e-commerce offer. Sevinç was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison in one of the cases he was tried for and was sent to prison.
Burak Sevinç, who works in a household goods store in the city, allegedly started working at his friend H.B.U.'s family e-commerce company to cover his wedding expenses. After providing his bank account information and card to work at the company, 17 separate investigations were launched against Sevinç 15 days later for the crime of 'fraud by using information systems as a tool of banks or credit institutions.'
3 YEARS OF PRISON AND 166 THOUSAND LIRA FINE
In the case opened by B.K.K., who was defrauded under the pretext of selling hair styling products, Burak Sevinç was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison and a judicial fine of 166,000 TL by the İzmir 15th High Criminal Court. Sevinç appealed the decision and took the case to the appellate court, but the appeal was rejected.
"MY SON IS IN PRISON"
Burak Sevinç's mother, Hacer Sevinç Yoldaş (42), stated that her engaged son started working at a friend's company to cover his expenses, saying, "We couldn't hold our wedding due to our financial situation. A friend offers a proposal; 'I have a family business, we sell hair styling products in my family business,' he says. 'If you join us, at least we can contribute to your wedding,' he says. My son accepted this offer because he didn't know it was a crime. He is currently in prison. Even though we compensated the victim's damages and the complaint was withdrawn, my son is being prosecuted with a life sentence. My son currently has 17 cases against him, and one of those cases has been approved. My son is in prison right now, and he will serve 3 years and 4 months. Another case is in the appellate court, and he is being prosecuted for 3 years and 4 months for each case," she said.
Hacer Sevinç Yoldaş stated that her son's bank account numbers were with the other party for 15 days, and when he realized the situation at the end of the 15 days, he closed his account, but the legal proceedings continued due to the irregular transactions made through the account.
