AKP MP Tayyar: 112 detained in fund operation, 'two critical names' to be added

AKP MP Şamil Tayyar, in an assessment shared on his social media account on November 8, outlined the current state of the fund operation and the developments he anticipated.

According to Tayyar's post, as of now 112 of 433 suspects are detained, asset seizure measures have been imposed on 470 individuals and companies, and the amount of voluntary repatriation has reached 30 billion lira. Describing the detention of former minister Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya as "an important threshold," Tayyar subsequently counted the questioning of senior executives from the BRSA, CMB, and Takasbank as an indication that the operation had "entered the cosmic room."

Tayyar indicated that he anticipated the "two critical names" being discussed by the public would also be added to the operation, noting that simultaneous removals from office could also come onto the agenda.

According to the MP's assessment, spreading the operation over time both increases speculation and complicates the government's "transition to a healing process." Tayyar called for clarifying without delay who would be questioned, defining the framework of the investigation, and accelerating the judicial process. He emphasized that the government needs to quickly exit the fund spiral in order to be able to focus on fundamental issues such as retirement, minimum wage, and employment.
