Excuse Petition from Arda Turan, Emre Belözoğlu and Selçuk İnan in Seçil Erzan Case
Former Bank employee claims he was used in a loan scam
Erzan, a former employee of the Florya Branch, has come forward with allegations that he was used in a loan scam by a master named Metin Taş. According to Erzan, Taş approached him at the bank and offered to help him “factoring” in order to replace the money he had lost. The system involved Taş receiving 70 thousand liras and Erzan receiving 30 thousand liras in return for a check of 100 thousand liras, with Erzan being made to pay the cost.
Erzan claims that he did not request to be involved in the factoring scheme and eventually realized that Taş had bad intentions. He further alleges that he took out a loan on behalf of his brother and sold a house inherited from his grandmother in order to pay off the installments of the loan. Despite seeking help from Atilla Baltaş, Erzan was unable to recover the principal money lost in the scheme.
Erzan insists that all of the transactions in question were within the banking system and that he did not have any problems until 2013. However, he claims that in 2013, his cousin Tanin Yılmaz sold his real estate in Yalova for 200 thousand liras and deposited it into a time deposit. This money was then taken by Erzan’s wife and used in her commercial activities, with 93 thousand euros of it eventually coming to Erzan’s account from his cousin’s wife’s company abroad.
These allegations have raised serious concerns about fraudulent activities within the banking system and the potential exploitation of bank employees. The authorities have been urged to investigate the matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to prevent such incidents from reoccurring.
