Minister of Justice Gürlek announced. Those who audit the funds will also be examined

Discussions on the budget, final accounts and Court of Accounts reports of the Ministry of Justice and affiliated institutions and organizations have started in the Plan and Budget Commission of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM).

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek made a statement here regarding the fund investigation carried out regarding transactions in the capital markets.

"Within the scope of fund investigations, money movements, financial connections and asset transfers are examined based on concrete evidence, in line with the denunciations and complaints submitted to our Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the notifications of the relevant institutions." said Akın Gürlek and continued:

"As the investigation deepens, connections that are not limited to market actors but extend to control mechanisms are also investigated. In this process, no one's position, title, economic power or the relationships they establish can provide themselves with a position above the law. No criminal will ever get away with any crime."

"As of the same date, money, real estate and stocks worth approximately 31.5 billion Turkish liras were returned within the scope of the voluntary refund account within the SDIF." Akın Gürlek stated that voluntary restitution alone does not eliminate legal liability and said, "While the source, amount and delivery of the refunds to the real rights holders are examined, investigations about the relevant persons and transactions are also carried out in their own legal course." he said.
