Easy Peasy Japaneezy
Gökay O., an accountant for a Japanese firm doing business
in Turkey, sent 10 million TL (about 3.5 million USD) to
his older brother's account rather than to the Turkish tax bureau.
The older brother, Göktuğ O. used the money to buy his family
luxury cars, villas and real estate.
The scandal was uncovered when another accountant in the
large firm's accounting section, Gönül G., told officials that
Gökay O. had transferred 7 million TL to a production company,
instead of to the Sarıyer, Istanbul, tax bureau. Official then
discovered that Gökay O. had previously sent 3 million TL
to the same production company account.
It turned out that the production company is owned by older
brother Göktuğ O. and the brothers' mother Asude O. In his
statement to police, Gökay O. explained that he had acted on
the instructions of his older brother who bought luxury cars
for himself and his wife, Nazlı O., a villa in Bostancı, Istanbul,
for his mother and another 3 cars.
As for Göktuğ O., he stated that he gave a portion of the money
to his friend Eser Ç. and used some for the house, cars and a
summer place in Keşan, Edirne province. The prosecutor
determined that Didem B., an official at the bank where the
firm has its account, conspired with the brothers. Gökay O.,
Göktuğ O., Asude O., Didem B. and Eser Ç. will all be tried
and receive a maximum 7-year sentence if convicted.

paving machine, 18 cables and 6 electronic brains, worth a
total of about 300,000 TL (about 100,000 USD). However,

USD).
Police in Çekmeköy captured suspect R.K. and a raid was
conducted on the junk dealer. All the stolen equipment was
recovered and returned to the construction firm. R.K. was
