Will Polatlar be able to use their assets? Their lawyers explained live on Haberler.com. Note: The translation assumes "Polatlar" refers to a specific group or individuals. If it is a general term, the translation may need to be adjusted accordingly.

"Establishing and managing an organization for the purpose of committing crimes", "Money laundering of assets derived from crime", and "Violation of the Law on the Organization of Betting and Games of Chance in Football and Other Sports Competitions" - a release decision was made for 4 defendants, including Dilan and Engin Polat, who are facing charges related to these crimes. Lawyers Vahit Kaya and Orhan Kale, who represent the Polat family and were guests at Haberler.com studio, made comments about the decision to host Melis Yaşar.

"THEY WILL CONTINUE TO USE THEIR ASSETS"

When asked by Yaşar if Dilan Polat's assets have been transferred to the public, lawyer Orhan Kale made the following statement: "Their assets have not been transferred to the public. There is a precautionary measure on their assets. This means preventing them from disposing of their assets based on the alleged offense in order to ensure the fair trial of these individuals. They cannot sell or transfer their assets at the moment. They cannot receive any dividends from their companies. However, this does not prevent them from continuing to use their immovable assets. They are staying in their homes because they have nowhere else to go. However, their assets are requested to be confiscated from this case once the alleged crime is convicted and finalized through the appellate and cassation stages. This process may take a few years. In short, it will be transferred to the ownership of the state. However, there is currently no asset that has been transferred to the ownership of the state. This precautionary measure is in place to prevent the loss, damage, decrease in value, and transfer to others of these assets. There is no asset that has already been transferred to the ownership of the state. This measure is in place for the purpose of protection."

4 DEFENDANTS RELEASED

Dilan and Engin Polat, among 28 defendants, including 4 detained, who are facing charges of "establishing and managing an organization for the purpose of committing crimes", "money laundering of assets derived from crime", and "violation of the Law on the Organization of Betting and Games of Chance in Football and Other Sports Competitions", appeared before the judge again on the third day of the trial. The trial, held at the 2nd Criminal Court of First Instance in Anatolia, was attended by detained defendant Ahmet Gün, released defendants Dilan Polat, Sinem Sıla Doğu, Can Doğu, and other released defendants. Detained defendants Engin Polat, Sezgin Polat, Alper Kürşat Polat participated via SEGBIS (Audio and Visual Informatics System). The court panel, announcing its interim decision, decided to release detained defendants Engin Polat, Sezgin Polat, Alper Kürşat Polat, and Ahmet Gün.

ALL DIGITAL MATERIALS AT THE POLICE WILL BE RETURNED

The request for the removal of the measures on the assets was rejected. The court decided to continue the travel ban on the defendants. The court also lifted the judicial controls in the form of signing. The court decided to send a letter to the Prosecutor's Office to inquire whether there is an investigation into the defendants for the crime of tax procedure law violation and, if so, to ask about the progress of the investigations. The court also decided to return the digital materials such as mobile phones, SIM cards, computers, which are in the possession of the judicial police and whose images have been taken, to their owners. The court also proposed the consolidation of the 'illegal betting organization' case being heard at the 24th Criminal Court of First Instance in Istanbul Anatolia with this case, including Derkan Başer, known as an illegal betting leader. The court also decided to hear the witnesses who gave statements during the investigation. The trial was adjourned until December 19, 2024.
