Request for Asset and Market Instrument Freezing Measures for 85 Individuals in Fund Investigation

Within the scope of a comprehensive fund investigation, authorities have requested the freezing of capital market instruments and assets of 85 individuals.

Measures Against Asset-Reducing Transactions

It was requested from the relevant institutions that necessary measures be taken for any transactions that could reduce assets, such as transfers, assignments, sales, donations, mortgages, and the establishment of pledges. Additionally, it was demanded that account closures, high-value cash withdrawals, and financial movements such as EFT and wire transfers be closely monitored.

It was emphasized that in the event of unusual transaction requests by the individuals in question, the prosecutor's office's opinion must be obtained before taking any action, and suspicious situations must be reported to MASAK without delay.

Inter-Institutional Coordination and Identification Studies

Instructions were sent to the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre, the Directorate General of Maritime Affairs, and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, requesting the identification of real estate, ships, and aircraft belonging to the individuals on the list. It was requested that the identified records be forwarded to the chief public prosecutor's office as soon as possible.

Prevention of Grievances and Legal Status

It was specifically stated that these precautionary decisions and instructions do not mean that the 85 real persons involved have directly committed a crime. In addition, it was requested that necessary sensitivity be shown to ensure that salaries, bill payments, pensions, and routine professional transactions are not disrupted.
