The report also included transfers worth millions of liras at once. It was recorded that 6 million TL was entered into the account from one company, 5.8 million TL from another company and 5.5 million TL from a person.

In Çağla Öz Tançalan's accounts, an inflow of 56 million 478 thousand TL and an outflow of 50 million 859 thousand TL were detected in the same period. Thus, it was stated that the total transfer traffic in the couple's bank accounts exceeded 222 million TL.
