The "I Raise a Flag for Betrayal" rally organized by İYİ Party in Trabzon has started. Addressing the citizens at the Atatürk Square, İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu targeted the government over the funding investigation in his speech.
Dervişoğlu, who described what happened as "the biggest robbery committed under public supervision in the history of the Republic", said that the allegations should not be limited to just a few people.
"THIS CRIME CANNOT BE COMMITTED ALONE"
Emphasizing that the allegations in question should be investigated with all their connections, Dervişoğlu used the following statements:
"We say that this is the biggest robbery committed under public supervision in the history of the Republic. Do not bother with the tabloid side of the matter. This crime cannot be committed alone. This is a big crime. We say look at the bureaucratic leg of this, its political leg and all its connections."
Dervişoğlu, who also reacted to the Minister of Justice's statement that "There is an extensive criminal structure", responded by saying "Good morning".
CALLED TO ERDOĞAN: "WHY ARE YOU HIDING IT?"
Reminding AKP President Erdoğan's words, "People we never expected were involved in these affairs," Dervişoğlu questioned the responsibility of the government.
Dervişoğlu said:
"People you never expected, right? Your unexpected vice presidents, the bureaucrats you appointed... If people you least expected are involved in this, why do you leave the matter to the nation? Explain who those haramzades are. Why are you hiding it?"
"WE WANT AN ACCOUNT FROM YOU, NOT YOUR HEAD!"
Arguing that they wanted to close the debate by placing the responsibility on a few people, Dervişoğlu addressed Erdoğan from Trabzon Square.
Dervişoğlu said, "They want and throw the heads of a few people in front of the nation. From here, in Trabzon Square, while the Black Sea is struggling, I call out to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: We don't want a head from you, Mr. Erdoğan, we want an account, I say we want an account!" he said.
"Didn't YOU CREATE ALL THE INSTITUTIONS TO SUPERVISE?"
Dervişoğlu, who brought up the appointments of economic management and supervisory institutions, asked Erdoğan one after another.
"Didn't you appoint the head of the Capital Markets Board? Didn't you appoint the members of the Banking Regulation and Supervision Board? Didn't you appoint the Borsa Istanbul management? Didn't you make the appointments at MASAK? Didn't you create all the boards and institutions that would supervise?"
Dervişoğlu, who also criticized the Presidential Government System, said, "Didn't you keep these places between your lips, Mr. Erdoğan? You called it the Presidential Government System, but you established a one-man system. You destroyed the institutions of the state."
WHAT HAPPENED?
In the investigation initiated by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding transactions in the capital markets, which were publicly referred to as "fund profiteering", allegations of market manipulation through investment funds and some people making illegal profits were brought to the agenda.
Within the scope of the investigation, the statements of former Minister of Family and Social Policies and former AKP Deputy Chairman Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya, her husband İlyas Kaya and former Capital Markets Board (CMB) Chairman İbrahim Ömer Gönül were also taken.
Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya, who testified for the second time on November 5, was arrested by the criminal judgeship of peace, to whom she was referred on charges of "being a member of an organization established for the purpose of committing a crime" and "opposition to the Capital Markets Law".
İlyas Kaya, who was referred to the judgeship within the scope of the same investigation, and former CMB Chairman İbrahim Ömer Gönül were released with judicial control measures such as a travel ban and signature signing.
In the prosecutor's arrest referral letter, it was stated that Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya bought Özata Denizcilik shares in April 2026 and sold them on September 16, one day before the decision to liquidate the funds. The prosecutor's office had assessed that Kaya was aware of the liquidation decision in advance.
In his statement regarding the investigation, AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, "People we never expected were involved in these affairs."
