DETAILS OF THE OPERATION
As a result of the work carried out by MIT, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Istanbul Police Department's Financial Crimes Unit against FETÖ's current financial structure, 26 suspects, including Zeki Doruk, the owner of HAKMAR and TATBAK chain markets, and Cengiz Güneş, who was dismissed from the police force, were detained in a simultaneous operation conducted on July 15 in Ankara, Sakarya, Osmaniye, Bayburt, Giresun, Malatya, Yalova, and Bolu.
"ZEKİ DORUK TRANSFERRED MONEY TO FETÖ MEMBERS"
Zeki Doruk, who owns chain markets with approximately 800 branches centered in Istanbul and from whose home materials related to the terrorist organization were seized during searches, was found to have regularly transferred money to organization members in Turkey in accordance with instructions received from FETÖ's overseas structure, using HAKMAR Group of Companies as a source.
It was determined that Zeki Doruk, who has numerous reports against him, collected donations for FETÖ under the pretexts of "victim donations, pilgrimage money, and membership to Zaman newspaper," and employed individuals who were registered as FETÖ members and continued to sympathize with the terrorist organization in his chain markets.
ADMINISTRATOR APPOINTED TO HAKMAR AND TATBAK
It was understood that there were numerous encrypted doors intertwined in accordance with organizational customs in the headquarters building of HAKMAR in the Sancaktepe district of Istanbul, that security was at a high level, that organizational meetings were held in the mentioned places, and that Doruk used the HAKMAR and TATBAK companies, which were under his control, for organizational money transfers.
It was determined that suspect Cengiz Güneş provided financial assistance to individuals who were part of FETÖ's secret structures and their close relatives who had been dismissed. An administrator was appointed to HAKMAR and TATBAK as part of the investigation.
