The investigation into S.T.’s son, who bears the same name as S.T., who was arrested while trying to enter the country with a significant amount of money from Ercan Airport, continues.
It was reported in court that there were people wanted in the police investigation into the suspects who were determined to have entered and exited the country on different dates.
A 4-day detention order was taken for the suspects.
Police sergeant Yahya Suiçmez, who gave sworn testimony in court, relayed the facts.
Police said the suspect was charged with “Contravention of the Currency Exchange Act.”
The police said that S.T., who entered the country from Ercan Airport on August 6, declared that he had brought 800 thousand Euros he was carrying with the passengers to the Ercan Customs Branch for investment purposes, and that the investigation was considered suspicious and stated that 500 thousand Euros were made on July 31 and 600 thousand Euros on August 1 for the purpose of investing and establishing a business.
The police found that S.Y.’s father, S.T., who entered the country as a passenger from Ercan Airport between January 9 and July 14, is still in pretrial detention on charges of “Contravening the Currency Law and Contravening the Prevention of Laundering of the Proceeds of Crime Law No. 4/2008.”
Upon his request and in accordance with his instructions, he was required to report the money over 10,000 Euros to the customs authorities, but he stated that he acted contrary to the Monetary Exchange Law by bringing a total of 1,500,000 Euros to the country by not declaring the 150,000 Euros he had with him to the customs authorities 10 times at Ercan Airport each time.
They entered and exited many times
Police said the suspect had confessed to the crime in a voluntary statement and that he had brought a total of 1 million on two occasions.
He told the court that he handed over 500,000 Euros to the suspect Ö.T.
Stating that the suspect was arrested in accordance with the court order and that the investigation was continuing, the police told the court that the father and son had entered and exited many times and that they had declared a total of 12 thousand Euros when they left Turkey.
