Arrest warrants have been issued for TERA Portföy chairman Erdin Özel and TERA Yatırım CEO Emir Münir Sarpyener in an investigation by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office bureau for terrorism financing and money laundering crimes into transactions on the capital markets.
Both men had previously been subject to travel bans. The investigation concerns allegations that unlawful gains were obtained through capital market transactions.
On September 17, prosecutors asked Türkiye’s Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) for financial data on executives of several companies, including Pusula Finans Holding, TERA Yatırım Menkul Değerler, Hedef Holding and Bulls Yatırım Menkul Değerler.
