A trustee was appointed to Maydonoz Döner, which was subjected to an operation on the grounds of providing financing to the terrorist organization FETÖ. While the scheme established by the organization was exposed, it was revealed that the operations, which resulted in the capture of 353 suspects, including 10 public employees, were initiated following a complaint made to CİMER by a dismissed employee.

The details of the operation announced by Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, targeting the current structure of FETÖ, draw attention to aspects that reveal the organization's opportunistic and ruthless face once again.
THEY CHOSE "LOYAL PEOPLE TO FETÖ" FOR PARTNERSHIPS
In the statements taken as part of the operation, it appears that the organization selected individuals for partnerships in the Maydonoz Döner restaurant chain, despite their previous legal issues, particularly from among those who did not benefit from effective remorse, referred to as "loyal people to FETÖ." It was claimed that unofficial shareholders existed in the chain of döner restaurants where those without references from FETÖ were allegedly not hired.
THE STATEMENT AT THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE CAUGHT ATTENTION
The statement of R.Ö. at the prosecutor's office drew attention, who was hired with the promise that he could work as a "manager or administrator" in the döner restaurant chain and could become a shareholder over time to earn extra money, but was not given a partnership when it was learned that he had previously benefited from effective remorse in the context of a FETÖ investigation.
"THOSE WHO WERE DISMISSED FROM PUBLIC SERVICE WERE HOLDING MEETINGS"
In his confessions, witness R.Ö. revealed the dirty wheel established to generate income for the organization, stating that dismissed public employees were holding meetings in the restaurant chain and that he had reported a million-dollar capital increase to CİMER.
"THEY GREW VERY RAPIDLY IN 3-4 MONTHS"
R.Ö. stated that I.B. and A.T., who had previously been dismissed from public service, officially had partnerships in the store. He said, "I saw that these individuals grew very rapidly in a 3-4 month period. I do not know how these individuals, who have records of prosecution and dismissal, grew so quickly." R.Ö. noted that "the service staff, couriers, and döner sellers in the store did not have ties to the organization, but some of the store managers in all stores had served in 'confidential services,' and some had records of dismissal from KHK."
"I REALIZED THERE WERE UNOFFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS"
While working in the restaurant, R.Ö. explained that he noticed there were unofficial shareholders, providing the following information: "I saw that these shareholders were generally individuals like dismissed civil servants or students of the confidential structure. These types of shareholders were not present in any official documents. I.B. and A.T. were officially partners in the store I was responsible for. The manager, M.A., who was in a higher position than me in the store, was a dismissed public employee. I learned from E.K. that this person was sentenced because he did not benefit from the provisions of effective remorse in the prosecution against him. I know that his case is with the Court of Cassation and that he was in prison for a period. One day, when I spoke with the store manager M.A., he asked me 'how many years I was sentenced.' When I told him I was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months, he asked me again how I received such a sentence, as people generally received sentences of 5 or 7 years. I did not tell him at that moment that I had benefited from the provisions of effective remorse, but he understood that I had given a statement in this situation."
"THEY TOLD ME I WOULD BE A PARTNER WITH A 5% SHARE"
R.Ö. stated that E.K., one of the partners who hired him, was being prosecuted for membership in the organization and received a heavy sentence. R.Ö. noted that E.K. knew he had benefited from the provisions of effective remorse, saying, "I started working as a waiter with the reference of a friend of mine, whom I knew had connections with the organization. Later, I was assigned to be responsible for three different branches. My friend had mentioned that I could become a partner with a 5% share, but when it was learned that I had benefited from the provisions of effective remorse, no shares were given, pressure was applied first, and then I was dismissed from my job."
"THEY HARASSED ME"
R.Ö. recounted: "I started to be harassed with reasons such as a drop in turnover, disorder in the workplace, and low ratings on application sites. I could not benefit from the promised partnership. I was told that I would not be given shares. In a subsequent meeting, E.K. stated that this matter was a joke. The share that was promised to me was 5%. No money was discussed in exchange for this share. Even if a 5% share were given, it would be unofficial. When I asked E.K. about the reason for this, he said that everyone was a trustworthy person and that no shares were given to anyone who was not trusted."
"NO ONE WAS GIVEN SHARES ABOVE 5% TO AVOID CONTROL"
R.Ö. stated that he learned from E.K. that no one was given shares above the 5% share. He provided the following information: "Store managers could be given 5% shares in different branches, but to ensure that ownership did not increase in a single store and that administrative control did not slip away, no shares were definitely given above 5%. These external shareholdings I mentioned are completely informal partnerships based on trust. Those who appear to be the owners of the company in official documents also have ties to FETÖ. I believe that no one is allowed to open shares or franchises for an outsider."
WHAT HAPPENED?
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced on February 21 via his social media account that in the Kıskaç-40 operation, conducted simultaneously in 31 provinces centered in Antalya against FETÖ, 353 suspects, including 10 public personnel, were captured for providing financing to the organization through a döner restaurant chain.
