''I TOO WANT THE LIST TO BE ANNOUNCED''
When asked whether the list would be disclosed within the scope of the fund investigation, Güler said:
"I would also like this list to be disclosed. However, there are 455 thousand 578 people, they entered these funds and deposited their money as investment instruments. Who are the people who abused their duties, neglected their duties, had different intentions, committed market distortions sanctioned by the Capital Markets Law, carried false inside information or signed these transactions by committing market fraud, and engaged in illegal activities in these matters, within the scope of the investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office? We are all 455 thousand 578 people. "Can we think that he is involved in what we call 'fund fraud'? I want this list to be finalized."
Güler noted that within the scope of the fund investigation, actions against the Capital Markets Law should be determined, taking into account the "presumption of innocence" and the "right not to be tainted", and continued as follows:
"Can we blame people just for 'depending money to the fund' without determining these? On what basis will we prepare that list? Whoever committed which action, which responsibility they have, should be announced in this list. However, let's not tarnish the names that we will be ashamed of and ashamed of tomorrow or one day, as a list. This is my concern. There are many people, very critical investigations are being carried out."
Reminding that more than 100 people were arrested within the scope of the investigation of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, Güler stated that each fund and account was examined one by one.
"It is our President's instruction to us and his own statement that we will go to the end, regardless of who is involved in which action, which crime, their location or characteristics. I say this with an open heart." Using the statement, Güler reminded that the opposition mentioned some names, but later it turned out that the allegations made were similar in name, and the ministers were accused.
