New details continue to emerge about Haluk Levent, who was detained within the scope of the investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against the Friends Association.
It is alleged that it will change the course of the investigation; Hüseyin Başaran, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Başaran Holding, who filed a criminal complaint against Haluk Levent and the Friends Association to the prosecutor's office, was actually directly involved in this trade.
It was claimed that Başaran sold his real estate to Haluk Levent on a deferred basis, much higher than its real value, upon the promise that payment would be made through the Ahbap Association. It was claimed that Hüseyin Başaran, who put pressure on Haluk Levent to pay his debt, filed a criminal complaint to the prosecutor's office in order to camouflage his own cunning.
While the repercussions of the issue continued, fugitive businessman Sezgin Baran Korkmaz also joined the discussion on his social media account. In his post, Korkmaz called on the judiciary to investigate Hüseyin Başaran and said: "If the prosecutor's office digs into Hüseyin Başaran a little, the tax fraud public will suffer tens of times the aid collected during the earthquake."
Following the astronomical figures revealed within the scope of the investigation, journalist İsmail Saymaz also shared a remarkable analysis and post on his social media account. Emphasizing the strangeness of the figures in trade, Saymaz included the following statements in his post: "Hüseyin Başaran gave 22 properties worth 60 million dollars for free to Haluk Levent, who cheated on him. He counted 2 shops in Eyüp as 800 million TL. What is this, a waterside residence on the Bosphorus? His 9 flats in Göktürk and Fikirtepe were worth 500 million. Bağdat Street is cheaper. Isn't it a very 'honey' trade?" this?"
On the other hand; In his statement, Haluk Levent answered the question about Başaran as follows:
"The real estate transaction between Hüseyin BAŞARAN, one of the complainants of the file, and me is related to the credit/receivable issue. There is no fraud. I consider that the issue is one of the issues in legal dispute. Moreover, the real estate subject to the complaint is not in the amount claimed. Some payment has been made by me. I do not want to make any statement regarding the alleged accusation."
