A travel ban has been imposed on social media influencer Selin Ciğerci and former football player Gökhan Çıra as part of the money laundering investigation.
The famous social media influencer Selin Ciğerci and her ex-husband Gökhan Çıra have been subjected to a travel ban abroad. The reason for the decision regarding Ciğerci and Çıra is the tax audit reports that are part of the money laundering investigation file. The report revealed that there was a tax irregularity amounting to billions of lira.
TAX IRREGULARITIES IDENTIFIED IN COMPANY ACCOUNTS
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office initiated a "money laundering" investigation last year against social media influencer Selin Ciğerci and her ex-husband, former football player Gökhan Çıra. The expert committee that examined the 4 cosmetic companies owned by Ciğerci has completed its report. According to the tax audit report covering the years 2021-2023, there were tax irregularities in Ciğerci's company accounts. It was determined that nearly 3 billion lira in transactions occurred in the bank account of the 4 cosmetic companies owned by Selin Ciğerci. The scale of the transactions in Ciğerci's accounts was also identified as 2.6 billion lira.
"THE PROFIT MARGIN OF THE LARGEST COSMETIC COMPANIES IS 4%, CIĞERCİ'S IS ALMOST 50%"
According to Habertürk's news; Selin Ciğerci was inflating her sales revenues. This way, she was achieving a high profitability rate. According to the report, while the profit margin of the largest cosmetic companies in the market is 4%, Selin Ciğerci's profit margin in the market was nearly 50%. However, the source of this income has not yet been identified.
TRAVEL BAN DECISION
In the investigation, there are 9 other suspects, including not only Selin Ciğerci and Gökhan Çıra but also family members. Upon the request of the prosecutor's office, a travel ban decision was issued for Ciğerci, Çıra, and a suspect who is actively managing the companies.
