Two blows at once came to his father from Emir Sarıgül, who was released under judicial control after being arrested in a money laundering investigation. According to claims circulating in the corridors, Emir Sarıgül rejected his father Mustafa Sarıgül's requests for a meeting and cut all ties with his family. It was also alleged that Emir Sarıgül wanted to take the surname "Köksaloğlu," which is his grandfather's surname.
Within the scope of the investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office into the crime of "laundering assets derived from crime," Abdurrahman Emir Sarıgül, for whom a detention order had been issued, surrendered to the Financial Crimes Division Directorate with his lawyer on October 18. After his procedures at the police station, Sarıgül was referred to the courthouse and was arrested by the judge on October 21. Abdurrahman Emir Sarıgül was released in recent days under the judicial control measure of house arrest.
"EMİR SARIGÜL REJECTED HIS FATHER'S REQUESTS TO MEET"
A highly talked-about claim was made about Emir Sarıgül. In his statement on Barış Yarkadaş's tv100 live broadcast, he claimed that Emir Sarıgül rejected his father's requests to meet and also wanted to change his surname.
Yarkadaş said: "Emir Sarıgül does not meet with his father either. Mustafa Sarıgül made an attempt to meet, but Emir Sarıgül accepted none of these; Sarıgül cut all ties with his family. He is also telling those who visit his home: 'I did what was necessary for my state and my nation, I told everything I knew.'
"HE WANTS TO CHANGE HIS SURNAME"
Emir Sarıgül, yes, wants to change his surname. He will change it to Köksaloğlu, his grandfather's surname. He has applied to the court regarding this; through a lawyer, he will take his mother's maiden surname. His mother is the daughter of Abdurrahman Köksaloğlu, a former member of parliament of the Republican People's Party."
