"I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PAY WHEN WE HAVE A TAX DEBT"
Dilan Polat, who was questioned within the scope of the investigation, stated that her husband Engin Polat managed the financial affairs of the companies, saying, "Dilan Polat Beauty Cosmetics Industry and Trade Inc. is a company that transformed from a limited company. I don't know how it transitioned from a limited company to a joint-stock company. Engin was the one who dealt with these matters. In the beginning, I was working in the company, but after the customer base expanded, I stopped going to the company. I don't know who money was sent to, or how much money came from whom. I don't know where we pay when we have a tax debt. I don't know how to use internet banking. When I needed money, Engin usually paid me in cash or with a credit card. I have no crime. I do not accept the accusations against me. If we owe the state, we would like to pay it," she said.
"WE THINK THE REPORTS WERE PREPARED INCORRECTLY"
Engin Polat stated in his testimony, "All instructions were given by me. However, it is not possible for me to remember all the expenses mentioned in the reports right now. After reviewing the reports, if we have made a mistake, we would like to pay. We conducted real trade. We did not commit accounting fraud or maintain dual books. We believe that the tax reports were prepared incorrectly. I do not accept the accusations against me," he said.
"I DO NOT ACCEPT THE ACCUSATIONS"
Financial advisor Ahmet Gün, who is a suspect in the investigation, stated, "The expert report is not suitable for audit. It was prepared as a formality, and it has not been determined which act I participated in the crime. I do not accept the allegations in the report. I request a decision of non-prosecution against me," he said. Defendant Tolunay Topal stated in his testimony, "I was the sole authorized person of Ist Beauty Cosmetics Industry and Trade Inc. However, this company was a franchise branch of the Dilan Polat brand. I did not pay any fee for this branch. My acquaintance with them was only due to my being a social media phenomenon. My only crime was opening a branch," he said.
