Last minute: New development in Çiftlik Bank case

Osman Naim Kaya, who is wanted for crimes such as money laundering, tax evasion, being a member of a criminal organization, fraud, on the grounds that Mehmet Aydın, nicknamed ‘Tosuncuk’, who defrauded thousands of people with the Çiftlik Bank system and made a profit of millions of lira, was sent to Turkey. The refund was accepted recently. Kaya, who was caught in Uruguay and brought to Turkey and tried to be tried, was brought to Istanbul Airport in the evening by a scheduled plane that took off from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Osman Naim Kaya, who was taken from the plane by the police teams, was brought to the Airport Police Department for health checks and other procedures. Kaya was taken to the Vatan Police Department after the procedures were completed there.

He was not extradited to Turkey on the grounds that he was under house arrest in Uruguay.

When it was decided to continue the arrest warrants for the fugitives in the Çiftlik Bank case, a red notice was issued for Osman Naim Kaya, who was in Uruguay as part of the investigations and arrests, and the Uruguayan authorities took action. Kaya was arrested in Uruguay in March 2018. He was charged with money laundering. With the thought of benefiting from a reduction in his sentence, Osman Nuri Kaya returned some of his assets to the Uruguayan state and was not extradited to Turkey on the grounds that he was under house arrest for 4.5 years. According to Uruguayan law, Kaya could not be extradited without serving his sentence there. When this process was completed last March, the authorized institutions applied again for Kaya’s extradition to Turkey. Kaya’s lawyers also objected to this application. These objections were not accepted and as a result of the initiatives of the ministry, Uruguay accepted the extradition of Kaya to Turkey.

Tosuncuk’s assets were registered on Osman Naim Kaya.

It was learned that Osman Naim Kaya, whose name was heard for the first time after the Ciftlik Bank scandal emerged, was a welder. Kaya, who went to Uruguay from Bursa years ago for welding, developed his business in a short time here. The paths of two people crossed for the first time in Uruguay after Mehmet Aydın, who made a profit of millions of liras, fled to this country. Kaya met Mehmet Aydın and gained the trust of Aydın in a short time and had the opportunity to run his business. Thereupon, it was learned that Mehmet Aydın had some of his assets registered on Osman Nuri Kaya, who became his own closed box.
