Para Aklama İddiaları Mercek Altında
Soruşturmanın, iki Alman vatandaşının şikâyeti üzerine başlatıldığı bildirildi. Şikâyetçiler, yüksek tutarlı para hareketleri ve ticari işlemlerle ilgili iddialarını yetkililere iletti. Dosyada 80 milyon avroluk sözleşme, 100 milyon avroluk havale, yurt dışına çıkarılması vaat edildiği öne sürülen 1 milyar avroluk fon ve 1,5 milyon avroluk tekne satışı gibi dikkat çeken tutarlar yer alıyor. Bu rakamlar, şikâyette ileri sürülen iddialara dayanıyor.
Soruşturmanın Diğer Boyutu
Mustafa Sarıgül hakkındaki iddiaların ayrıca değerlendirilmek üzere Ankara Cumhuriyet Başsavcılığına gönderileceği daha önce açıklanmıştı. Sarıgül ise iddiaları reddederek konunun ticari bir anlaşmazlık olduğunu savundu.
Ağırel’in daha önce aldığı ev hapsi kararı ise farklı bir soruşturmayla ilgiliydi. Gazeteci, fon krizi hakkındaki açıklamaları nedeniyle yürütülen ayrı dosyada “halkı yanıltıcı bilgiyi alenen yayma” suçlaması kapsamında ev hapsinde bulunuyordu.
