Republican People’s Party (CHP) Spokesperson Bülent Tezcan has shared the documents that reveal money transfer of President and Justice and Development Party (AKP) Chair Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s family members to the Isle of Man with the press.
The documents were first presented by CHP Chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on November 28.
Showing the bank receipts of the money transfer to the cameras one by one, Tezcan then showed the swift messages of money transfers and briefly said:
“We will give them to the prosecution”
“They’ve made a row and are in panic. They called them fake. I call on those who call the documents fake, we don’t know about fake but the ones who do business in offshore islands will know very well how to conduct fake trade.
“The prosecution demanded the documents, we will give the documents to the prosecution”.
“Which company did they sell?”
“They said that it was sale of a company. Who said that? AK Party Chair Recep Tayyip Erdoğan did. As we were talking only about an outgoing money, they speak the incoming ones.
“Now, then you have to answer to this question: Which company did they sell? Who are the partners of this company? How much is the capital of this company? Where are the transfer warrants of these companies? When did you establish this company? What is its profit, how much activities did it carry out? How much tax did it pay? How did it reach this value?”
“We thank Erdoğan”
“We thank Mr. Erdoğan, he has enabled us to ask these questions. We didn’t know about the sale, we’ve learned it thanks to Erdoğan.
“This is a 1-sterlin company but there is a payment of 15 million (Euros). What kind of trade is that?”
