The Ministry of Justice denied the claim that "information regarding the fund investigation was leaked"

In the post made on the ministry's social account, it was stated that the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office took action by detecting unusual movements in some funds and shares, initiated the investigation process by requesting information and documents from the Capital Markets Board on August 19, and the liquidation decisions regarding the funds were taken on September 17.

In the statement, it was pointed out that this chronology clearly shows that the investigation was carried out in line with concrete crime suspicion and financial data, and it was emphasized that the process was carried out with the strong coordination of the relevant institutions of the state, in line with the determined will and close follow-up of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

In the statement, it was stated that the Ministry of Justice fulfills its duties and responsibilities in order to protect the rights of well-intentioned investors and citizens and to effectively conduct the judicial process against those responsible, and the following was noted:

"For this very reason, there are attempts to overshadow the investigation process, to make the determination of the judicial authorities questionable, to create distrust among state institutions and to shake our citizens' trust in the state. The main opposition leader's statement that some information regarding the fund investigation was 'leaked' to them from the Ministry of Justice is also a grave and unfounded slander aimed at placing our ministry under suspicion. After unconfirmed manipulative contents were circulated through opposition deputies, the contents targeting our Minister were false and It is seen that the question marks that arose when it was understood that it was manipulative were tried to be directed to state institutions.

It is obvious that there is an effort to draw the determinedly progressing judicial investigation into political polemics by obscuring the discussions about the focus behind these contents. In line with the will of our President and the strong coordination between our institutions, the Ministry of Justice fulfills its corporate responsibility to protect the rights of our citizens and ensure the effective functioning of the judicial process. "The fund investigation is being carried out with determination only in the direction shown by the evidence, not according to speculations."
