OZATD Shares at the Center of the Investigation

The investigation file also included the transactions Kaya carried out with Özata Denizcilik (OZATD) shares. In the prosecutor's referral letter, it was stated that the Capital Markets Board (SPK) review found that Kaya had access to information not disclosed to the public.

According to the information in the file, Kaya transferred the shares she purchased in April 2026 to Tera Yatırım Menkul Değerler AŞ on September 16, one day before the SPK's decision dated September 17, 2026 regarding the liquidation of funds. The referral letter also noted that the share price was credited to her account on the same day.

Eyes on the Decision to Leave the Court

The prosecution has forwarded a request for Kaya's arrest to the on‑call Court of Peace and Criminal Justice within the scope of the charges against him. After Kaya's interrogation and defense proceedings before the court, a decision is expected on either arrest or judicial control.

İlyas Kaya and Former SPK Chairman Released on Judicial Control Conditions!

A new development emerged in the fund investigation. A decision was made regarding former Minister of Family and Social Policies Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya's husband İlyas Kaya and former Capital Markets Board (SPK) Chairman İbrahim Ömer Gönül. After their statements were taken at the Istanbul courthouse, the two individuals referred to the on‑call Court of Peace and Criminal Justice were released under judicial control measures consisting of a travel ban out of the country and an obligation to sign at specified intervals. Thus, while no arrest order was issued against the two individuals, the investigation into their rights continues. Meanwhile, the process of referring former Minister Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya to the court on a request for her arrest within the same investigation is also being closely monitored.
