MASAK Uncovers Money Laundering Traces in Seçil Erzan’s Bagman Investigation
Atilla and Ali Yörük involved in Suspicious Financial Transactions
A recent report has shed light on the financial activities of Atilla and Ali Yörük, revealing numerous transactions involving large sums of money. According to the report, Atilla Yörük transferred approximately 12 million TL to third parties in various transactions since 2020.
Furthermore, it was noted that Atilla Yörük transferred about 13.5 million TL to a company owned by him since the beginning of 2022. The report also highlighted a significant increase in cash deposit and withdrawal transactions since 2021.
The report detailed that Atilla Yörük made a foreign currency cash deposit of approximately 1 million dollars, equivalent to 25 million TL, and approximately 15 million TL between January 2021 and June 2023. Additionally, he made cash withdrawals totaling approximately 21.5 million TL and 500 thousand dollars, corresponding to approximately 7.5 million TL during the same period.
In a separate transaction, Atilla Yörük sent 2 million 500 thousand TL to a construction company in April 2023. The report further revealed that Ali Yörük withdrew 1 million 250 thousand TL and 80 thousand dollars in foreign currency in cash between September 2022 and January 2023.
It was also documented that Ali Yörük made a deposit of 1 million 775 thousand TL and 80 thousand dollars between October 2022 and May 2023. The report stated that numerous real estate properties purchased by Ali Yörük and his wife, Aslı Yörük, with the income from the crime of qualified fraud were confiscated.
Additionally, it was reported that Aslı Yörük transferred 3 vehicles in 2020 and beyond, and the transactions of the couple were deemed incompatible with their financial profiles. The acquisition of these values or the money transfers were considered unfounded and in need of explanation.
The report also raised the possibility that Aslı Yörük’s accounts or transactions may be directed by someone else. Moreover, the couple acquired significant real estate in 2021 and beyond.
In the evaluation section of the report, it was suggested that the high amounts of cash inflows into the bank accounts of Ali and Atilla Yörük could be income obtained from alleged criminal activities. The report also indicated the strong suspicion of money laundering based on the financial transactions.
The report’s findings point to a complex web of financial activities that raise questions about the source and legitimacy of the funds involved. Authorities will likely delve deeper into these transactions to determine the nature and legality of the activities in question. The NTV application will continue to provide updates on this developing situation.
