Addressing President and Justice and Development Party (AKP) Chair Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, before exposing the documents Kılıçdaroğlu said, “I know you are listening to me. Have a doctor by you”.
Concerning the money transfer Kılıçdaroğlu allegedly done by members of Erdoğan family, Kılıçdaroğlu said:
- A company was founded on August 1, 2011 on Isle of Man. It is a very tiny island. We have the document of foundation of that company. This company holds executive board meeting as of August 2. The board consists of Sıdkı Ayan. It is a 1-sterlin company.
- On November 15, 2011, he handed over this company to Kasım Öztaş. Do you know who Sıdkı Ayan is? Do you know who Kasım Öztaş is?
- On December 15, 2011, Erdoğan’s brother-in-law Ziya İlgen sends 2.5 million dollars to the company.
- On December 15, 2011, Erdoğan’s brother Mustafa Erdoğan sends 2.5 million dollars to the company.
- On December 26, 2011, Ziya İlgen sends 1 million and 250 thousand dollars to the company.
- On December 27, 2011, Erdoğan’s father-in-law Osman Ketenci sends 1 million and 250 thousand dollars. His principal clerk Mustafa Gündoğan sends 1 million and 250 thousand dollars.
- On December 29, 2011, his son Ahmet Burak Erdoğan sends 1 million and 450 thousand dollars and sends 2 million and 3 thousand dollars on January 4, 2012.
- They may ask whether these allegations have documents? We have all the swift messages of these transfers. What does a swift message mean? When you transfer money abroad, you do that via this message.
- I said, these are not sufficient, I need bank receipts. They may claim that these documents are fake. All these are banks’ official records. They transfer the money abroad and these are also in the records of those companies. You will do what you have to if you are a man of dignity.
