In the "Çiftlik Bank" case, the detained defendant known as "Tosuncuk," Mehmet Aydın, sent a confession letter to the court from prison. In his letter, Aydın stated that his previous statements were not true and targeted his accomplice, saying, "He is enjoying himself outside with the victims' money." HE ATTACHED HIS PHOTO TO THE LETTERIn the "Çiftlik Bank" case, it was requested that the detained defendant, Mehmet Aydın, known as "Tosuncuk," be sentenced to up to 88,302 years in prison for three separate crimes. While the trial process continues, Mehmet Aydın wrote a letter to the court from the prison where he is held. He also attached a photo taken in prison to the letter, drawing attention to his weight loss. "WE TRANSFERRED THE MONEY TO A FRONT COMPANY WITH FAKE INVOICES"In the letter he wrote to the court, Mehmet Aydın, known as Tosuncuk, stated, "In my previous statements, I mentioned that Ayhan Çalışkan was a manufacturer who made machines for our facility. In fact, he has never produced any machines for us. I made transfers to him while issuing fake invoices to make it seem as if a real commercial transaction had taken place, and this money was transferred to two front companies named Vesde Sierra and Pabipasli, which are also associated with Osman Naim Kaya in Uruguay. My shares in these companies were transferred to Ayhan Çalışkan to mitigate the risk of the Uruguayan government seizing my assets. Since money transfers through Ayhan Çalışkan in these companies drew attention, a large number of construction materials were purchased and sent, making it appear as if exports were being conducted. The manager of the milk production facility in Edirne can attest that the machines have not been renewed. Additionally, Ayhan Çalışkan's wife also assisted us in money laundering. We unloaded the Bitcoin machines we sent to Paraguay at Ayhan Çalışkan's company warehouse in Istanbul, along with Murat Evren and my security chief Fehmi Suat; they can also testify. Nearly a thousand devices were caught at customs while trying to be sent to Paraguay as machine representatives, and later, by bribing the customs director with 200,000 dollars, the shipment of the machines to Paraguay was secured. He has told this incident to Osman Naim Kaya. The WhatsApp conversations are attached to my petition," he stated. "AYHAN ÇALIŞKAN IS ENJOYING HIMSELF OUTSIDE"Aydın continued his letter with the following words: "After the machines reached Paraguay, Ayhan Çalışkan sent 100,000 dollars to our partner in Paraguay. This transfer is seen in the MASAK report related to the case. This money was sent for the installation of the machines and for expenses. The assets in Uruguay and Paraguay had been left to Ayhan Çalışkan when we were arrested. Ayhan Çalışkan is enjoying himself outside with the money of Çiftlik Bank victims. I request that my statement be taken again in detail to explain everything I know."
