Critical move in the Murat Ağırel file... The 100 million euro receipt is under the spotlight in Germany!

German Bayern Green Party State Deputy Cemal Bozoğlu took action regarding the 100 million euro money transfer document in the Sarıgüller investigation, which led to the arrest of our newspaper's writer Murat Ağırel. Bozoğlu forwarded the receipt, which was claimed to belong to the Stadtsparkasse bank in Munich, to the bank and asked for the authenticity of the document to be investigated.

Bozoğlu stated that he had examined the materials sent by the bank and would inform him of the results.

Murat Ağırel was also arrested in the Sarıgüller investigation, which was initiated upon the complaint of Sinan Çampınar, who lives in Germany, and two German citizens. The complainants claimed that they sent some documents about Sarıgül to Ağırel, but the journalist did not report them and they had suspicions that he might have forwarded the documents to Sarıgül.

Ağırel, in his statements to the police and prosecutor's office, stated that he did not report the SWIFT document sent to him, showing that a money transfer of 100 million euros was made to Emir Sarıgül, because he doubted its authenticity. Ağırel explained that he tried to verify the document, that he also met with Sarıgül's lawyer in accordance with press ethics, and that he submitted the WhatsApp correspondence regarding this process to the prosecutor's office.

According to BirGün news; Bayern Green Party Deputy Cemal Bozoğlu, who stated that the investigation started an investigation on Germany's connection, said in his statement that among the documents sent to Ağırel, there were receipts and video recordings that appeared to originate from Stadtsparkasse Munich.

Bozoğlu stated that he applied to the bank in case the documents in question were manipulated and made the following statements:

"I delivered these materials to the Munich Stadtsparkasse bank due to the possibility that these documents were manipulated. The bank responded to me in a short time and informed me that they were examining the materials I sent."

Bozoğlu stated that if it is determined that the documents were produced or changed later, the bank will file a criminal complaint with the prosecutor's office for the use of its name and emblem.

Stating that he will investigate the source of the 100 million euro transfer if the document turns out to be real, Bozoğlu announced that he will file a criminal complaint in Germany regarding money laundering, document forgery and blackmail allegations after the investigations are completed.

Reacting to the arrest of Murat Ağırel, Bozoğlu noted that journalists are obliged to investigate the accuracy of the information and documents they receive, and that the decision not to publish documents they are suspicious of is the journalist's professional choice.

Bozoğlu stated that the addressee of the allegations of threatening people living in Germany is the security forces, and stated that the solution to these allegations is not the arrest of the journalist, but filing legal applications.
