ALL INVESTOR MOVEMENTS ARE REQUESTED FROM INSTITUTIONS UNTIL THE DATE OF LIQUIDATION
The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office asked MKK to determine the investor-based movements that took place until the date of the liquidation decisions taken by the Capital Markets Board regarding the funds in question. In this context, it was requested that the TL equivalents of the investors' purchase and sale transactions in the funds, participation share values in existing accounts, share rates and similar records be sent to the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. Thus, within the scope of the investigation, it is aimed to periodically reveal investor movements in the funds and examine the money traffic in detail.
A SEPARATE INVESTIGATION IS BEING CONDUCTED FOR THE LAST 3 CRITICAL MONTHS
Another noteworthy request in the prosecutor's memorandum was for the period July, August and September 2026. The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office requested that the number, amount and balance information of the investors who exited the funds during the said three-month period be separately determined and sent immediately. With these records, the size, timing and investor-based distribution of outflows from the funds as the liquidation process approaches will be examined in the investigation file.
CRA RECORDS WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE FILE
The data to be sent by MKK within the scope of the warrant sent by the Laundering Crimes Investigation Bureau is expected to be evaluated together with other financial records in the investigation file. The fact that the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office requested additional data, especially regarding the last three months before the liquidation, shows that in the next stage of the investigation, the investors who exited the funds and the amount and timing of the exits will be examined in detail.
