According to the information obtained by the AA correspondent, MASAK, affiliated with the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, continues its efforts to protect the security of the financial system, prevent suspicious asset movements and detect possible asset smuggling attempts within the scope of the recent judicial and administrative investigations carried out in the capital market.

In this context, the financial movements of a total of 117 managers who worked or are currently working in Pusula Finans, Tera Yatırım, Hedef Holding and Bulls Yatırım and their affiliated and related financial institutions were examined in detail and 2 analysis reports were prepared and sent to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

In addition, a separate and comprehensive analysis study was carried out against one of the persons in question, due to suspicions of asset smuggling, and an analysis report prepared as a result of this study was submitted to the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

While information about the shareholders during the periods when the investment funds subject to review were not traded through TEFAS or when investor access was limited is conveyed to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and relevant institutions and organizations, detailed analysis and investigations are continued regarding the earnings of these people through their entry and exit transactions into the funds.

While tightened monitoring and control mechanisms are being put into effect for the individuals under investigation by banks, capital market intermediary institutions, crypto asset service providers and payment and electronic money institutions, within this framework, the assets and money movements of the individuals are closely monitored.
