Breaking news... Statement from Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz regarding the fund investigation: Not a single lira was used from the budget

COP31

We placed a strong emphasis on the common problems of humanity at COP31 held in Antalya. As you know, the leaders' part has been completed, but technical negotiations continue in Antalya with activities until November 20. The world's environmental agenda is being shaped in Türkiye.

FUND LIQUIDATION

The liquidation process of the funds is proceeding rapidly. The State Supervisory Board continues its investigation in the field. The Fund Coordination Board is working. If there are any wrongdoers within the institutions, they are identified. The judicial process is ongoing. An extremely comprehensive, in-depth and effective judicial process is being carried out. Our judicial institutions, especially our Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, are doing their part very effectively in this process.

Making payments in an equitable and rule-based manner is an approach that our Fund Coordination Board greatly observes. We paid 161 billion liras, and so far not a single lira from the budget has been used for interim payments in fund payments. The total refund amount in the funds reached 33.4 billion TL as of Friday. The receivables of 55 thousand 821 investors were paid. Payments were made to 444 thousand 987 unique investors. The receivables of 337 thousand 56 individual investors were fully paid. Interim payments have been largely completed. We will complete the process by making a final payment to those who cannot receive payment.

In the fund investigation, 123 people were arrested, 466 suspects were found and the assets of 124 people were frozen. CMB will complete its manipulation investigation by the end of this month. With the new law on the capital market, sanctions will increase and penalties will become harsher.
