There Is Also “Black Money” In the File of Uzans
Güncelleme Tarihi:
The Banking Regulating Board (BDDK), that had accused the Uzan Family of “looting” and “embezzling,” also reported crime on the basis of “black money,” refraining from paying taxes, and forming gang.
Uzans were accused by the Blackmail and Bribery Organizations Law in the U.S. because of the suits brought by Motorola and Nokia. There is a similar law in Turkey now.
BDDK brought about new accusations against the Uzan Family. In the documents sent by the Board to Sisli Public Prosecutor’s Office, it was stated that Savings Insurance Fund (TMSF) sent the report on the activities of the former administrators of the Imar Bank (the Uzan Family), to refrain from paying taxes, to the Financial Offenses Inquiry Board. In this secret document sent by BDDK it was also stated that the former owners and administrators of the bank (including Kemal and Yavuz Uzan) violated the Banking Law and the 313th article of Turkish Penal Law on “forming gangs to commit crime.”
Last Fortress of Uzans was Also Demolished
After CEAS, Kepez, and the Imar Bank, the Uzan Group also lost the administration of the Adabank, the second bank of the group. BDDK completed its operation that started on Friday evening, and replaced the administration of the Adabank. In its written statement BDDK stressed that the bank would continue its operations under the audit and supervision of the Board, therefore, neither deposit holders nor investors should worry.
The Uzan Group had offered the highest price in the Petkim (Petrochemical Industries) tender (605 million dollars), and since it lost the administration of the Imar bank after the tender, it planned to use the Adabank to buy Petkim.
