Izmir’s Seçil Erzan Makes Waves with Explosive Profit Growth
A shocking case similar to the one involving Seçil Erzan has emerged in İzmir, involving allegations of fraud within the world of football. The manager of Denizbank İzmir Bornova branch and the head of the Karşıyaka Sports Club Basketball Infrastructure Branch, H.Ö., is accused of collecting money from 5 individuals, including two club managers, promising high profits. It was discovered that he collected the money on behalf of S.Ç., who operates a currency exchange office in Karşıyaka, prompting an investigation by the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK).
Reports claim that H.Ö. managed to collect nearly 300 million liras, with one victim alone giving nearly 100 million liras. The owner of the currency exchange office, S.Ç., was taken into custody, while H.Ö. allegedly attempted suicide by overdosing on medication. He is currently under observation at Bayraklı City Hospital and is expected to be taken into custody upon completion of his treatment.
Following a detention order issued against H.Ö., the Cyber Crimes Branch Directorate conducted a search at the bank branch, seizing digital materials. Subsequent searches are expected to take place at the currency exchange office.
Additionally, Hatice Ö., who was admitted to the hospital after the suicide attempt, has been transferred to the psychiatric ward. It has been reported that she is refusing to eat and is currently unable to provide testimony.
As part of the operation, two more individuals, bank employee EY and currency exchange employee AA, have been detained for questioning. Searches have also been carried out at their residences.
In a statement to the authorities, S.Ç., the owner of the currency exchange office, denied the accusations, claiming that the money brought by Hatice Ö. was converted into gold and foreign currency before being returned. The investigation into this complex case continues as more details emerge.
