"Request for up to 240 years in prison for Seçil Erzan's general manager and assistant."

```html

It is claimed that bank manager Seçil Erzan, who allegedly defrauded many people, including well-known figures such as Fatih Terim, Arda Turan, Fernando Muslera, and Emre Belözoğlu, has been prepared an indictment requesting the imprisonment of general manager Hakan Ateş and deputy general manager Mehmet Aydoğdu for up to 240 years.

In a new development regarding the claim that a high-yield reliable fund exists and that names like Fatih Terim are also included in this fund, it has been reported that more than 30 people, including well-known footballers Arda Turan, Fernando Muslera, Emre Belözoğlu, and Selçuk İnan, were defrauded of millions of lira.

24 PEOPLE INCLUDING FATİH TERİM AND ARDA TURAN FILED A COMPLAINT

Regarding the ongoing trial of bank branch manager Seçil Erzan, the investigation against general manager Hakan Ateş and deputy general manager Mehmet Aydoğdu has been completed, and an indictment has been prepared. In the indictment prepared by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to be sent to the Istanbul 41st Heavy Penal Court, 24 people, including Fatih Terim, Arda Turan, Fernando Muslera, Selçuk İnan, Emre Çolak, Buse Terim, and Volkan Bahçekapılı, were included as 'complainants'. In the indictment, Hakan Ateş and Mehmet Aydoğdu were included as 'suspects'.

IT WAS STATED THAT THE SUSPECTS WERE AWARE OF THE FUND IN QUESTION

In the prepared indictment, it was noted that the defendant Seçil Erzan was the manager of one of the 600 branches of the bank she worked for, and as she stated in her own words, she was recognized as privileged, thus it was not possible for any branch manager to collect money from complainants under the name of an "illegal fund" in this way. Therefore, it was evaluated that the suspects Hakan Ateş and Mehmet Aydoğdu, who were in close communication and relationship with some of the complainants, were aware of the fund in question.

COLLABORATION OF IDEAS AND ACTIONS AMONG SUSPECTS

In the indictment, it was reported that the defendant Seçil Erzan stated that the suspects had information about the money transactions between her and the complainants. It was noted that large amounts of money were entering and exiting a bank, and all employees witnessed this situation. It was stated that the money entering the bank was not recorded in official customer accounts, and that the money transactions took place in front of cameras in the manager's room within the bank's Levent branch. It was also mentioned that the high-value loan transaction of Arda Turan was expedited and carried out with the knowledge and instruction of the suspects, and that Fatih Terim's loan debt was covered by Seçil Erzan upon the instruction of Mehmet Aydoğdu, which demonstrated the collaboration of ideas and actions between the suspects and Seçil Erzan.

"FATİH TERİM, ARDA TURAN, AND EMRE BELÖZOĞLU COULD HAVE CALLED ME"

In the indictment, it was stated that suspect Hakan Ateş mentioned that after learning about the incident, he spoke on the phone with Fatih Terim on the same day, saying, "We made an appointment to meet on April 8, 2023, and he came with Arda Turan and Emre Belözoğlu on that date. I met with them and the bank's general manager here. I do not accept the allegations in question. I want to emphasize this; Fatih Terim, Arda Turan, and Emre Belözoğlu are people who can call me at any time, even for the smallest banking transaction. In fact, Fatih Terim has called me regarding a minor loan issue, and it is very strange that these people, who can call me in this way, did not ask me before handing over the mentioned millions of dollars to Seçil Erzan. The complainants tolerated and waited for Erzan's situation despite approximately 6 months passing over the due date of this irregular money transaction with Seçil Erzan," he stated.

"MY NAME PROBABLY CAME UP HERE BECAUSE I AM A GALATASARAY FAN"

Suspect Mehmet Aydoğdu, whose statement is included in the indictment, said, "I am a good Galatasaray fan. Our bank is also the bank that gives the most loans to sports clubs. My name probably came up here because I am a Galatasaray fan. No branch manager is subordinate to me; I have no interest or knowledge about this matter. A fake email was arranged regarding me, and the subject of the email was related to my approval of the fund. As a result of the investigation conducted by the relevant authorities, it was revealed that the email was fake. It was found that this email was used by Semih Kaya, and we filed a criminal complaint regarding this. The fund, which is claimed to be managed by Seçil Erzan and established by us, is not within the knowledge of our bank. The matter is entirely related to Seçil Erzan," he stated.

REQUEST FOR UP TO 240 YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT

In the prepared indictment, it was requested that suspects Hakan Ateş and Mehmet Aydoğdu be sentenced to 72 to 240 years in prison for the crime of 'qualified fraud'. The court's examination of the indictment, which has not yet been accepted by the Istanbul 41st Heavy Penal Court, is ongoing.
