“I BREAK OFF MY RELATIONSHIP WHEN I SAW THAT THERE WERE SOMETHING GOING WRONG”

Ömer Sarıgül, who said that he met Sinan Çampınar through his father Mustafa Sarıgül in 2024, said, "While meeting Sinan, my father told me that Sinan Çapınar was an investor he knew, they wanted to invest in Türkiye, and Sinan acted as an intermediary in bringing this money. Afterwards, I almost never established a relationship with Sinan Çapınar. Since he lived in Germany, we were not in a situation where we could meet. However, 1-2 months after meeting Sinan, Sinan He came to Türkiye with his brother Diyar Çamınar. He called me and asked me to meet his brother Diyar, and he sent Diyar Çapınar to the cafe called LuLu in Kabataş, where we met. During the conversation, Diyar said that he liked the concept of the cafe and that we could open a similar cafe in Munich. Afterwards, Diyar returned to Germany and after a while, he started pitching me the places he found for the cafe. "I went to Munich. After looking at a few places with Diyar, we started the process to establish a company. We went to the notary together and signed a preliminary contract. However, we could not complete the registration process and did not pay the capital. These transactions were left unfinished because I returned to Türkiye. Later, when I saw that there were things going wrong regarding the investment that Sinan had planned with my father and the money to be brought, I gave up on establishing a company and cut off my relationship with both Diyar and Sinan." he said.

“I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED WITH MY FATHER”

Stating that he has been doing business alone since 2015, Ömer Sarıgül said, "I did not complete the establishment of the company because I was not comfortable with a joint business. After a while, Sinan Çamınar's lawyer sent an e-mail to me and my mother, Aylin Kotil, stating that the company openings had been completed in our names. The content of the e-mail stated that a bank account had been opened in the name of the company. Thereupon, I reached out to my lawyer in Germany through my lawyers and asked him to determine whether a bank account and company had been opened in my name. Either a bank account in my name or "They responded that the company was not opened. I was relieved and blocked their phone calls. Sinan Çampınar even came to Türkiye and we signed a discharge and settlement agreement. I was not involved in the subsequent processes. I don't know what happened between them and my father." he said.

“I NEVER HAD A TRADE DISCUSSION WITH MY FATHER”

Stating that he has not spoken to Emir Sarıgül for 7-8 years, Ömer Sarıgül said, "There is no commercial relationship between us. Likewise, there is no commercial relationship with my father Mustafa Sarıgül. I have no information about the 80 million euro contract, the 100 million euro transfer and the transfer of a boat. My mother has nothing to do with the issues either. I do not know anything about the money my father took abroad piece by piece. My father Mustafa Sarıgül was in talks to buy a villa." "I learned it at the police station. I haven't met Emir Sarıgül for a long time. I have never had a business conversation with my father, and my father never tells me anything about his business activities." he said.

“I HAVEN'T HEARD GOOD THINGS”

Stating that he has not heard good things about Emir Sarıgül, Ömer Sarıgül said, "I have heard that he lied a lot in his commercial relations and social life, and that he was surrounded by people without strings attached. However, I do not even know what he does. I do not know how my father acquired his current wealth, because I am not in a position to know this due to his age. However, I have not heard of any illegitimate business of his. I have no information about money laundering. As I said, I deal with my own business. I have no interest or involvement in the accusations." he said.
