Lawyer Ece Güner, arrested as part of the Ahbap Association investigation, released a six-point written statement on August 8.
Güner stated that she had no connection whatsoever with Ahbap Association, that none of the association's employees knew her, and that statements in the file reflected this. She explained that her acquaintance with Haluk Levent lasted only from the summer of 2023 to the summer of 2024, and that much of that one-year period was spent attempting to recover the loan she had given.
Emphasizing that the bank record contained a note stating 'lending money equivalent to dollars' and that repayments were made with the notation 'loan repayment,' Güner claimed that MASAK reports supported all of her statements.
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, which is conducting the investigation, has approved the continuation of the detention order. The Ahbap investigation encompasses many individuals, including Haluk Levent; the case has inflamed discussions about charitable giving culture and accountability.
