Breaking news... Response from the Ministry of Justice to Özgür Özel's allegations: It is a baseless slander

The Ministry of Justice made a statement regarding the fund investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. The Ministry stated that the investigation started on August 19 by requesting information and documents from the CMB, and that the liquidation decisions regarding the funds were taken on September 17, and that the process was carried out in line with concrete crime suspicion and financial data.

In the statement made by the Ministry, it was stated that the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office detected unusual movements in some funds and shares and took action. In the statement, it was noted that information and documents were requested from the Capital Markets Board on August 19, and the liquidation decisions regarding the funds were taken on September 17.

It was stated that this chronology clearly shows that the investigation was carried out in line with concrete crime suspicion and financial data.

The following statements were made by the Ministry:

"Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office took action by detecting unusual movements in some funds and shares, initiated the investigation process by requesting information and documents from the Capital Markets Board on August 19, and liquidation decisions regarding the funds were taken on September 17. This chronology clearly shows that the investigation is carried out in line with concrete crime suspicion and financial data. The process is carried out in line with the determined will and close monitoring of our President, with the strong coordination of the relevant institutions of our state. Our Ministry of Justice is carrying out the protection of the rights of well-intentioned investors and citizens, those who are responsible." It fulfills its duties and responsibilities in order to ensure that the judicial process is carried out effectively.

"A GROSS AND UNSOUNDED SLANDER TO LEAVE OUR MINISTRY UNDER SUSPICION"

For this very reason, there are attempts to overshadow the investigation process, to make the determination of the judicial authorities questionable, to create distrust among state institutions and to undermine our citizens' trust in the state. The main opposition leader's statement that some information regarding the fund investigation was "leaked" to them from the Ministry of Justice is a grave and unfounded slander aimed at placing our Ministry under suspicion.

Following the circulation of unconfirmed manipulative content through opposition MPs, it appears that the question marks that arose when it was understood that the content targeting our Minister was false and manipulative, were attempted to be directed to state institutions. It is obvious that there is an effort to draw the determinedly progressing judicial investigation into political polemics by obscuring the discussions about the focus behind these contents.
