The Ankara public prosecutor began an investigation into ill-gotten
gains reaped by the directors of the "Yaşama Tutanan Patiler Derneği"
(Association for Paws Holding on to Life) organization.  A total of 18
individuals came under suspicion of using contributions for the care
of animals for their own purposes, amounting to 20 million TL (about
$575,000) (!)

Nine of the 18 suspects were taken into custody, including association
chief Buket Özgünlü, her brother-in-law, and her older sister Demet 
Kılıç. These three were jailed as was Ertan Işık, the owner of a parrot 
shop (!).  They were charged with using donations that came for the 
care and feeding of animals for themselves.
