MURAT KAPKİ'S STATEMENT WAS TAKEN

As part of the investigation initiated by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the aforementioned allegation, Murat Kapki, who is held in Tekirdağ No. 1 High Security Closed Prison, was taken his statement as a 'complainant' by the Organized Crimes Investigation Bureau.

"I APPOINTED MÜCAHİT BİRİNCİ AS MY LAWYER THINKING I MIGHT BE RELEASED"

Kapki stated that he wrote the handwritten complaint petition himself and sent it to the Tekirdağ Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. He mentioned that a lawyer friend named Melih, with whom he had a power of attorney relationship, called him and said that Mücahit Birinci wanted to meet with him and that he could get him released from the case he was detained in. Kapki noted that he had given statements three times in the corruption investigation against IMM, and despite benefiting from the effective remorse provisions, he was not released as his statements were deemed insufficient, saying, "I thought I could meet with this person thinking I might be released. Subsequently, I appointed Mücahit Birinci as my lawyer on July 29 with a power of attorney sent through a notary."

"HE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO SURRENDER TO HIM, AND IF I DID, I WOULD BE RELEASED WITHIN A WEEK"

Kapki, asserting that he did not know Birinci beforehand, said, "I saw this person for the first and last time on the day he visited me. After the power of attorney was arranged, Birinci came to visit me on July 31. After starting the meeting, he first told me to be Machiavellian and that I needed to surrender to him, saying that if I did this, I would be released within a week. When I asked how this would happen, he handed me a 1.5-page computer-written text that he brought in two copies and told me to read it."

"HE TOLD ME HE WOULD TAKE 2 MILLION DOLLARS FROM ME"

Kapki, expressing that he was complaining about the content of these texts, continued: "After reading them, I said that I could not defame anyone and stated that the matters mentioned in the text were not true. I refused to sign the said text. I also told him that I had already benefited from the effective remorse provisions. When I said that some journalists were writing articles against me, he claimed that he would reverse all these situations and promised that I would surrender to him again. He also said that he would take 2 million dollars from me in return for all this work. When he demanded this amount, he did not mention that he would give this money to anyone. Since I said I would not defame anyone, our meeting ended.

"HE DID NOT MAKE A PROMISE THAT HE WOULD USE THE MONEY TO LEVERAGE HIS RELATIONSHIPS"

Afterwards, he took the texts I mentioned above from me. When he was about to leave, I asked him if I would be released or not. Birinci replied, "This was your choice," and left my side. When the lawyer named Birinci came to me, he did not make any promise that he had a relationship with a judge or public prosecutor in the courthouse and therefore would use the money he requested from me to leverage those relationships." Kapki stated that a few days after the incident, he dismissed Mücahit Birinci from the power of attorney through a notary and said that he was complaining about Birinci.

DECISION OF INCOMPETENCE IN THE INVESTIGATION

In the decision of incompetence given yesterday by the Tekirdağ Chief Public Prosecutor's Office's Ministry Correspondence Bureau, it was stated that Kapki's lawyer submitted a petition to the prosecutor's office on August 12 regarding Birinci for "misuse of office." The decision noted that regarding the similar allegations in the complaint petition, the statements given against Kapki in the investigation conducted against him could have been given in the manner specified in the complaint petition, and therefore, it should be evaluated together with the mentioned files. For this reason, it was stated in the written document that a decision of incompetence was made, and it was decided to send the documents to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office for necessary action.

WHAT DID ÖZGÜR ÖZEL SAY?

CHP General Chairman Özgür Özel, who appeared before the cameras at the party's headquarters, made claims that would create an agenda. Özel said, "A lawyer friend who is in collusion with this AK Toroslar gang goes to businessman Murat Kapki, who is in custody in the IMM investigation. Murat Kapki is one of the owners of a very large company that did a lot of business while IMM was under the AK Party and also did business with various public institutions. He has been forced to become an informant multiple times, has given effective remorse statements, but has been kept inside because he did not give the statement requested from him and did not provide false testimony.

"THEY TOLD HIM, 'YOU WILL SIGN THIS, AND YOU WILL ALSO GIVE 2 MILLION DOLLARS ON TOP'"

This person, who has held many positions, including membership in the AK Party's MKYK, goes to a friend named Mücahit Birinci. This friend talks to Kapki on July 31 and puts a 1.5-page statement in front of him, saying, 'You will sign this. You will also give 2 million dollars on top. You will leave here quietly.' He asks him to name various people and relate these to the events.

With a world of claims, it is such a statement that is extraordinarily risky, insulting to journalists, a move related to the convention that the CHP has never managed to pull off, establishing the slander of Fatih Keleş, which they have never been able to do, touching upon Ekrem Başkan and Murat Ongun, and saying that it will happen in exchange for 2 million dollars. 'Sign this statement, give the 2 million dollars, I will be your hand and foot in the media, your guarantee,' he said.
