Lawyers submitted a petition to the court! Surprising move after Fatih Terim's statement from Seçil Erzan.

In the fraud case known as the "highly profitable secret fund" in the public, defendant Seçil Erzan made a surprise move after Fatih Terim's statement was taken as a complainant. Erzan's lawyers objected, claiming that Terim's statement was taken in violation of the procedure.

OBJECTION TO TERIM'S STATEMENT "TAKEN IN VIOLATION OF THE PROCEDURE"

In the petition submitted by Seçil Erzan's lawyer to Istanbul 41st Heavy Penal Court, it was claimed that Fatih Terim's statement given as a complainant in Bodrum Heavy Penal Court was taken in violation of the procedure. The petition stated that the Istanbul court, which conducted the trial, sent instructions to Bodrum Heavy Penal Court on July 10th for taking Terim's statement, and the Bodrum court decided to hold a hearing on September 17th, but the statement was taken in a closed hearing on August 20th before this hearing date.

REQUEST FOR QUESTIONING AND DEFENSE RIGHTS

The petition stated that due to the statement being taken in a closed hearing outside the predetermined date, the right to ask questions and defense rights were restricted. Therefore, it was requested that the statement be taken again at a specified date open to the participation of the parties.

FROM THE INDICTMENT

In the indictment prepared by Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office, it is stated that the defendant Seçil Erzan worked as a manager at a bank branch in Levent and received 2 million dollars from the complainant Bülent Çeviker based on a personal trust relationship, promising to return it to him with high profits, but it was found out that there was no such fund.

The indictment states that written documents were given in exchange for money, but the complainant Çeviker could not reach Erzan later, reported the situation to the bank, and filed a criminal complaint against Erzan. It is also stated in the indictment that Erzan created fake documents regarding the money given by the complainants, stamped and signed them with the bank's seal, and acted with the intention of fraud.

ERZAN FACES 93 TO 305 YEARS IN PRISON

Seçil Erzan is facing a prison sentence of 93 to 305 years for the crimes of "forgery in official documents" and "qualified fraud committed by individuals who are traders or company executives or act on behalf of the company during their commercial activities, and by cooperative managers during the activities of the cooperative." The indictment also requests that the defendants Ali Yörük, Kerem Can, Hüseyin Eligül, Nazlı Can, Atilla Yörük, and Asiye Öztürk be sentenced to imprisonment ranging from 3 to 98 years for the same crimes, and that the defendant Rüya Sağır be sentenced to imprisonment ranging from 3 to 10 years for the crime of "qualified fraud."
