CHP Deputy Chairman Özgür Karabat made a statement regarding the escape of the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya to Turkey and the usury conducted through POS devices.
Karabat noted in a post on his social media account; "Why did the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya escape to Turkey? Look at money laundering and tax evasion. While the AKP's informal economy policies trap citizens in poverty, on the other hand, they damage Turkey's image and strain its relations with the world. No one brings their money to Turkey except for interest. Because the country image created by the AKP is in ruins. The law is not being applied, and doors are open to illegal activities, especially money laundering. We have become a country that does not provide security for the future.
"THERE ARE AT LEAST 31 COMPANIES IDENTIFIED BY BDDK"
I have warned multiple times about POS devices. There are at least 31 companies identified by BDDK. But nothing is done about them. I have explained the details before. There are two countries at the center of the operations conducted through POS devices. One is Libya, the other is Iraq. And the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, Sadiq al-Kabir, escaped to Turkey in August due to 'security concerns.' Why is Libya important? Because the amount of usury conducted through POS devices in the last 5 years has exceeded 100 billion dollars. Criminal income is generated here, and tax evasion is carried out from this.
"INVESTIGATIONS REGARDING POS DEVICE USURY ARE CONTINUING"
A financial crime ecosystem was created by accounting for gold sales in Turkey as if they were made from debit cards belonging to Libyan and Iraqi citizens. These got so out of control that some small operations were carried out. I know that investigations are being conducted regarding POS device usury, but they are being obstructed due to the profiteers. However, what is at stake here is Turkey's reputation and the billions of lira in taxes that are being evaded. These investigations are being conducted not only in Turkey but also in America. Since all of this is done using the American financial system, investigations regarding POS device usury are being carried out in the USA.
"A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE ARE BECOMING ULTRA-RICH HERE"
You can see how large the investigation is regarding the allegation that the Mayor of New York received a bribe of around 100 thousand dollars from Turkey. What would the USA do for the criminal income consisting of 100 billion dollars in transactions! Turkey must not give leverage to countries like the USA in diplomacy. Therefore, our judiciary must punish the criminals here. Since the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, Sadiq al-Kabir, has also come to Turkey, his statement regarding POS devices should be taken. Unfortunately, we hear that some Turkish banks are also involved in this. The Ministry of Treasury and Finance is also aware of this. But on the other hand, when you look at BDDK, what kind of relationships does it establish with the banks it is supposed to supervise? The executives of the banks that attended the wedding of the BDDK Deputy Chairman in full force are lining up to give gifts! Banks have gotten involved in POS usury because they know that BDDK will turn a blind eye. There are numerous financial crimes committed here. While citizens buried in poverty are exhausted from paying VAT and SCT, a handful of people are becoming ultra-rich, and billions of lira in tax losses are being overlooked. A few token operations conducted regarding POS devices do not even account for 1% of this system. Mr. Mehmet Şimşek targeted jewelers who do not pay taxes; he should also radar those who launder money using POS devices and evade taxes in the same way."
