The court has decided to extend Seçil Erzan’s detention. Additionally, it has been decided that Arda Turan, Emre Belözoğlu, and Fernando Muslera must appear in court, and if they fail to comply, mandatory attendance will be enforced.

After reviewing the case, the court has decided to extend the detention of Seçil Erzan and Ali Yörük. In the previous hearing, the court announced an interim decision regarding the retrieval of Seçil Erzan’s Denizbank account transactions. The court has also ordered the examination of additional reports related to correspondence with bank employees and managers, in addition to the phones and SIM cards held as evidence.
The court has given Arda Turan, Emre Belözoğlu, Selçuk İnan, and Fernando Muslera’s lawyers a final period to prepare themselves. Failure to comply may result in mandatory attendance. The court has also requested information regarding the bank transactions of the defendants Ali Yörük, Atilla Yörük, Nazlı Can, and Hüseyin Eligül from all banks, as well as an investigation into the transactions between Ali Yörük and Semih Kaya.
The court has decided that Seçil Erzan’s colleague Fatin Seven must be present as a witness. Various witnesses, including Arda Turan’s brother Okan Turan, have been forcibly summoned. Furthermore, the identities of all bank employees who worked with Erzan between 2020-2023 will be provided to the court. Bank managers and personnel will be considered potential witnesses in future sessions.
The court has decided to obtain log records regarding Seçil Erzan’s inquiry into the plaintiffs’ accounts at Denizbank. Additionally, the court has requested a comprehensive report from MASAK (Financial Crimes Investigation Board). The session ended with the planning of the next court hearing for March 8 and provided a timeframe for the defense to provide the SIM card password for the previously examined phone.
