YAKUT: MURAT ONGUN SET UP A BRIBERY RACE AT MEDYA AŞ

At the hearing, another allegation of bribery came from businessman Cüneyt Yakut. The detainee claimed that he gave a check of 10 million lira to Murat Ongun, Chairman of the Board of Media Inc., as a bribe.

"I want to tell you what I know about Murat Ongun. Unfortunately, he cannot think logically. Let's explain everything openly like that. Murat Ongun set up a scheme together with Emrah Bağdatlı. The reason for the 100 people being tried in Medya AŞ today is the scheme he established together with Emrah Bağdatlı..."

"MURAT ONGUN KNEW CÜNEYT YAKUT"

This confession increased the tension in the courtroom. Cüneyt Yakut claimed that he gave a bribe of 10 million lira to Murat Ongun in his office at Medya AŞ. Murat Ongun rejected the allegations and said, "Let's look at the base records." Following this tension, detained Medya AŞ General Manager Fatoş Pınar Türker also spoke. He talked about the dialogue between Murat Ongun and Cüney Yakut. He rebelled and his voice shook as he spoke.

"I went to Murat Ongun and said: Mr. Murat, do you know Cüneyt Yakut? He said, "No, I do not know him." However, he did. We, as Medya AŞ, also warned you, maybe you remember. We have been sleeping here for 19 months. Now, Mr. Murat, I really love you. He stood up and said, "Of course, I will ask about Emrah Bağdatlı. You say, 'You were doing business like this behind the scenes. We don't know about this, isn't it shameful for us?'

After Pınar Türker, Cüneyt Yakut took the floor again. He repeated his claim that he paid a bribe regarding Murat Ongun.

"I have neither heard nor seen anyone at Medya AŞ except Murat Ongun and Emrah Bağdatlı receiving a single penny. Murat Ongun and Emrah Bağdatlı organized everything. The 10 million I gave is related to the bus business they mentioned. They should let him out, at least 3-5 people will come out. What is this woman's fault?"

The prosecutor requested that a criminal complaint be filed against Murat Ongun after Cüneyt Yakut's allegations.
