The bank manager Seçil Erzan, who is accused of defrauding many people, including Arda Turan, Fernando Muslera, and Emre Belözoğlu, with the promise of a highly profitable private fund, has a new indictment. According to the indictment, it was stated that Nur Erkasap, although in a victim position, participated in Erzan's actions. The indictment requested a prison sentence of up to 10 years for Erzan and up to 30 years for Erkasap. A new indictment has been prepared against the bank branch manager Seçil Erzan, who is being tried for fraud. The indictment prepared by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office included Ömer Kahraman, Volkan Bahçekapılı, and Mert Zeydanlı as "complainants," Nur Erkasap as "complainant-suspect," and Seçil Erzan as "suspect." The indictment stated that Erzan deceived Erkasap by promising to invest in the bank, convinced her to invest in the fund, received $500,000 from Erkasap, and that their relationship went beyond the banker-customer relationship. The indictment also stated that Nur Erkasap occasionally personally received the money that was deposited into her account and delivered it to Erzan. SHE WAS INITIALLY A VICTIMThe indictment stated that it was determined that there were numerous correspondences regarding financial transactions between Seçil Erzan and Nur Erkasap, and that Erkasap initially believed in Erzan and invested money in the fund, but eventually became aware of Erzan's fraudulent activities due to the close trust relationship they established and knowingly and willingly participated in the "fraud" actions against the complainants Zeydanlı, Bahçekapılı, and Kahraman. "SEÇİL CALLS ME WHEN THE MONEY ARRIVES, AND I DELIVER IT TO HER"The indictment included Nur Erkasap's statement, in which she said, "I personally handed $500,000 in cash to Seçil Erzan in her office at the bank. My husband, who is a coach, and I have good relationships with Fatih Terim and his family in our normal lives. I know Volkan Bahçekapılı because he is Terim's son-in-law. Since Erzan managed my financial affairs, I accepted Bahçekapılı sending money to my account without suspecting anything. $1 million had been deposited into my account. I withdrew it and handed it to Erzan on the same day. Erzan and I had a sisterly relationship. Erzan occasionally told me that there was money in the fund that needed to be closed by making deposits and asked me to withdraw the money and give it to her. I withdrew money several times and gave it to Erzan this way. Ömer Kahraman sent 5,884,000 Turkish liras to my account, but I learned about it much later. When the money arrived, Seçil called me, and I withdrew the money and delivered it to her. I was deceived by her," "I NEVER RECEIVED CASH FROM ERKASAP"In her statement, the suspect Erzan said that Erkasap also wanted to deposit money but couldn't because she didn't have cash. She said, "One day, I can't remember the exact date, Nur Erkasap and I created a promissory note in my office with Mert Zeydanlı present. Nur Erkasap was written as the debtor on this note, and I became the guarantor. Zeydanlı was the creditor. Later, when the maturity date of the note arrived, I talked to Zeydanlı and canceled the note. I never received cash from Erkasap," "IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE ACTED TOGETHER WITH ERZAN"The indictment also included a report prepared by the bank's inspection board, which stated, "Nur Erkasap gave the promissory note, for which she was the debtor, to Zeydanlı to establish trust in Seçil Erzan for him to give money. Volkan Bahçekapılı transferred $400,000 to Nur Erkasap's account to deliver it to Seçil Erzan. Based on these and the note written by Nur Erkasap, it is understood that she was aware of Erzan's actions and acted together with her," In the prepared indictment, it was requested that the complainant-suspect Nur Erkasap be sentenced to a total of 9 to 30 years in prison for the crime of "fraud during the commercial activities of traders or company executives or those acting on behalf of the company, or fraud within the scope of the cooperative's activities," and that Seçil Erzan be sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison for the crime of "qualified fraud" against Erkasap.
