An Indictment Held Against Tunç Soyer and Other Names

Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office S.S. In the investigation carried out by Business People on the allegation of obtaining benefits through Gaziemir Building Cooperative, an indictment was filed against the detained former Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Tunç Soyer, former CHP Izmir Provincial Chairman Şenol Aslanoğlu, former İZBETON General Manager Heval Savaş Kaya and former CHP Ankara Provincial Chairman Ümit Erkol.

Murat Aydın, İsmet Köymen and Defne Soyer, lawyers of detained Soyer, made a written statement after the indictment was prepared.

"BACKUP OF THE BACKUP"

The lawyers described the file in question as the third file, which they described as the "backup of the backup" in the process carried out about Soyer.

The statement included the following statements:

"An indictment was also issued in the third file, in which a 'backup of the backup' arrest was made against Tunç Soyer. As we have said from the beginning; the files are separated, the numbers of the investigations and legal qualifications change, but the totality of events against Tunç Soyer does not change and not a single criminal act can be shown.

While in the first indictment it was clearly written by the prosecutor's office that he did not gain any personal benefit, this fact was proven again with the Masak report; The detention period is extended only by changing the names of the alleged crimes. This time, Mr. Soyer is accused of forgery of official documents. However, after fifteen months of detention and the final indictment, it still cannot be said which document is fake and its relationship with Tunç Soyer.

It is the fundamental right of a person to know what the accusation against him is and what concrete act it is based on. Whose embezzlement, how much, and how did Tunç Soyer help? Which document is fake, what is its relationship with Tunç Soyer? An indictment was eventually issued in the third file, which was the backup of the backup. "What needs to be done now is to end this unjust detention that has been going on for 456 days."
