Fondsaffäre: Fondsaffäre: Türkei nimmt Gründer von Tera fest
Nach dem Zusammenbruch mehrerer Aktienfonds nimmt die türkische Justiz mehrere Finanzmanager fest. Hunderttausende Anleger sind betroffen, die Börse gerät unter Druck.
Istanbul - Turkish authorities have arrested Emre Tezmen, the founder of broker Tera Investment Funds, in connection with investigations into the funds that had invested hundreds of thousands of small investors. Following the collapse of the funds, the affected investors are said to have lost billions. Besides Tezmen, other Tera managers, including Kerem Alkin and Emre Alkin, were arrested.
Additionally, Serdar Turhan, the head of Pusula Finans Holding, was also detained according to the report. The affected funds primarily invested in stocks with low float, which makes price manipulation easier. Financial experts estimate that some of these stocks were used as collateral for short-term loans, with borrowed money then used to buy the same stocks again.
The Turkish Justice Minister described the alleged construction as "Ponzi-like". The accusations are not yet fully clarified. According to the state news agency Anadolu, authorities have frozen assets of executives from several financial companies. The prosecutor's office has also requested data on money and crypto transfers abroad since 2024 to determine if assets were transferred abroad.
