It was decided that the first hearing regarding the case returned from appeal would be held today.

Seçil Erzan appeared before the judge again.

The court decided to continue the detention of the detained defendant Seçil Erzan. The hearing was postponed to October 9.

Claiming that he was not tried fairly and that his statements were not respected, Erzan said, "Only what the participants said was accepted as absolute truth. Firstly, in the court where I was previously tried, only my statements from the prosecutor's office were taken as basis, on the grounds that there was a contradiction between the statements I made at the prosecutor's office and my other statements. I did not receive sufficient legal support." he said.

Claiming that he gave his statement with some guidance at that time, Erzan said, "I don't have any debts, but I was in debt. The bank tried to understand. I was given a serum. An avocate was directed to me by bank officials. I went to the prosecutor, and I took refuge in the prosecutor in my statements that day. I tried to explain everything clearly and accurately." he said.

Claiming that everything he said was taken out of context, Erzan said, "I didn't have the money, that's what I told him that day. The bank's lawyer said, 'There is pressure from above, you are being arrested.'" He continued his defense by saying.

Seçil Erzan continued her defense as follows:

"I called everyone a fund that day, under fear and pressure. The lawyers who told me this have a letter in their hands that I want to present. I did not say it was a fund. I had meetings with the bank. I wrote down everything they said to me that night. These fund declarations were based on a basis. The statement 'I deceived them, I corrupted their will' was established."

Adding to his claims that he did not establish a system and that he did not have a behavior that could be concretized with the promise of high interest, Erzan said, "If Arda Turan is owed 1 penny, punish me for a thousand years. He received the money he gave me in 15 days." he said.

Erzan, who also claimed that Turan swore at him, said, "If this is a system, who manages this system? There is no other Seçil Erzan who gives 5 to 1 when 5 to 1 is impossible. I did not set up a system. I could not pay, I did everything to pay. I sold everything. I did not intend to disrupt anyone's will. I could not pay my friends back. I sold everything my mother and father had. As long as it is closed down. With the interest rate, nobody You can't deceive." he said.

The hearing was adjourned for lunch.

In the indictment prepared by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was stated that the defendant Seçil Erzan worked as a manager at a bank's branch in Levent and that he received 2 million dollars from the complainant Bülent Çeviker based on a personal trust relationship and stated that he would return it to him with the promise of high profits.

In the indictment, it was stated that written documents were given in exchange for money, but although the complainant Çeviker later tried to reach Erzan, this did not happen, he reported the situation to the bank, the bank made an investigation, and a criminal complaint was filed against Erzan.

It was stated in the indictment that the defendant Erzan persuaded the complainants to deposit money to this fund by telling the complainants from football players, business people and various professional groups that there was a reliable fund with high profit returns and that publicly known names such as Fatih Terim and Hakan Ateş were included in this fund, and it was stated that in reality it was determined that such a fund did not exist at all.

In the indictment, it was stated that Erzan created false documents regarding the money given by the complainants, put the bank's stamp and wet signature on these documents and delivered them to the complainants, and acted with the intention of fraud.
