I am reading the main indictment. What is this? For God’s sake. Reading this is enough of a punishment for anyone. It’s a good job that the court said that the whole indictment didn’t need to be read out. Summarize it, they said, as I’ve heard.

I am only going to read the parts about me. They have to be answered.

I would be grateful if my most esteemed state-assigned lawyer could read this, too.

Finally, the main indictment in which my name is mentioned, and which lots of people and institutions in Turkey have been waiting for, has come to the surface. Apparently, it’s going to be read tomorrow.

They don’t allow our own lawyers to defend us.

I heard that our state is assigning lawyers from the bar association. I understood the reason for this after seeing the bits about me that appeared in the media. They might not have allowed any defence or any right to answer this indictment. Thank God for this. I thank all those in charge.

We have now left 2014, 2015 and 2016,the investigation years of Koza Ipek, behind. Since September 2015, there has been a trustee management – that’s nearly 14 months. 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months have passed, and we have been patiently waiting for it to finish.

ALL THE FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE KOZA IPEK GROUP CAN BE SEEN CLEARLY IN THE FINANCIAL TABLES, ALL THE GOLD RESERVES AND RESOURCES OF THE PAST 10 YEARS AND 10 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, AND ALL MY ACTIVITIES CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN IN DETAIL IN THE REPORTS OF INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT AUDIT COMPANIES. ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

I HAVE BEEN DECLARING FOR YEARS THAT WHAT IS SEEN IS ALL CORRECT AND THERE IS NO TRACE OF CRIME.

I EVEN PROMISED A 10 MILLION USD PRIZE TO ANYONE WHO COULD FIND, in Turkey or abroad, anyunofficial, unrecorded,unlawful BLACK MONEY WORTH A DOLLAR, the source of which is unknown or where it was spent is unknown, in any of the companies I managed.

Every mother is a sultan’s mother. May Allah grant her a long life, I have a sultan’s mother. Many years ago, it was discoveredthat someone who worked for my hadji mother had stolen a large sum of money. Apparently, he bought a taxi with the money he stole.

My hadji mother ignored it, and she didn’t curse him either. A little while after that, he had an accident. He also had cancer and he became unemployed. She still sent money to him.

Son, we should disperse the evil with good deeds she says

We have now left behind 2014, 2015 and 2016 of the investigation years. Trustees have been in management positions since September 2015, for 13 months.

An article in today’s Star Newspaper: Apparently, my men used go to the Ivory Coast and Ghana to buy gold and diamonds because they were cheap there, and bring them over and launder them through the Koza plant.

Oh, dearie, dearie me! Donation gold has become pineapples from Ghana…

IN THAT CASE, THE TRUSTEES OF KOZA GOLD MUST HAVE BEEN BRINGING GOLD AND DIAMONDS FROM GHANAFOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF TO MEET THE TARGETS THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY SET.

They have published my photo as though I were a criminal. This is not the first time. I wish they would write my crimes under it. Any single sentence,Any single penny earned in an unlawful way, Any unlawful expenditure.

It’s been two years since the investigation started. They haven’t found a crime.

By pointing a finger at me, they are lynching me without a trial. And my family, too.

The most vulnerable creature on Earth is the human being. Out of the millions of items that are essential for our survival, we cannot produce a single item; not a single fruit, not even a leaf.We cannot fight against a microbe or a bug if it enters our bodies and makes us feel miserable.

This is the material world…

There is also a spiritual world in humans. The world in which feelings such as pity, love and regret exist; the world in which there is mercy, love and compassion. A mother’s sacrifice of life for her child is present in this world.

Dear valued members of the investigation commission of the TBMM (Turkish Grand National Assembly), dear Ministers, After a year of trustee management, no trace of crime has been reported as a result of the investigations conducted under the trustees. The claims of the expert witness who gave whatever information he felt like giving to you have clearly surfaced once more to spread fictitious nonsense.

As I have seen in the media, the claims in the main indictment are the same.

It consists of the claims that have already been destroyed by the evidence and the documents that we presented in two files to the prosecutor’s office. I hope the court will take into consideration the answers in the files that we carefully prepared,and that they will look into them.
