Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya's statement as a judge was revealed: 'I am a housewife,' she said, pointing to politicians

The statement of Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya, who was summoned to testify as a 'suspect' within the scope of the investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, Terrorism Financing and Laundering Crimes Investigation Bureau, regarding transactions in the capital markets, and who was arrested by the Criminal Judgeship of Peace for the crimes of 'being a member of a criminal organization' and 'opposition to the CMB Law' has been revealed.

According to Hürriyet's report, Sayan Kaya said that she is married with 2 children, is a housewife and her monthly income is 500 thousand TL.

In DHA's news, the following was stated:

Stating that he has a monthly income of 500 thousand liras, Kaya said, "I do not accept the accusations, I am innocent. I saw the referral letter from the prosecutor's office. It says that I had intense meetings with the TERA management, but I definitely did not have such a meeting. If I had such a statement, I would like to see it. I met Emre Tezmen once in my life. The person named Erdin Özel was suggested to me by politicians to be my assistant. However, he has never been my deputy. All the meetings I have had with him are meetings for political purposes. In no way, nor with TERA." "I have not had any contact with him regarding the transactions I made in the stock market. So, I do not accept the accusation of being a member of the organization," he said.

'I WANTED TO EVALUATE MY EXPERIENCE'

Kaya said, "The meeting with Erdin Özel, mentioned in my prosecution statement, was an acquaintance meeting that we had as a result of him being recommended to me. I had heard his name, but I did not know him personally until that day. Since it was an introductory meeting, I asked him what he did. He told me that he was in the management of TERA Holding. Since I did not know TERA Holding, I asked, 'What does this TERA Holding do?' He told me that they were a stock brokerage firm and that they also invested in different sectors. I did not have a stock market account until that day. I stated that I have never had anything to do with the stock market since I was a politician. That's how our introductory meeting ended. Since I had studied economics during my university years, I always preferred to stay away from the stock market. My wife and I had some savings. We wanted to evaluate this knowledge, both from what Mr. Erdin said and from what I heard from many politicians around me, that the stock market is an investment tool, that everyone invests and that there is no problem. "We made an investment," he said.

'I HAD SOLD MORE THAN HALF OF MY SHARES IN AUGUST.'

Kaya said, "I definitely did not have heavy traffic with Erdin Özel. I am not someone who meets with him as often as claimed. Likewise, there was only one meeting with a person named Emre Tezmen. An intense meeting traffic is definitely out of the question. I especially request that all HTS records of Emre Tezmen and Erdin Özel be added to the file. The prosecutor's office stated in the referral letter that I sold all my shares on September 16, 2026, but this is not true. I sold more than half of my shares in August. "However, after the liquidation decision was made, I and my wife applied to return the amount deemed as unfair gain. We were given an appointment by TMSF on the date and time given and we returned the amount given to us by TMSF. I have two children, one of whom had an open heart surgery recently. I demand my release."
