DİLAN POLAT: I LEARNED FROM THE PRESS THAT THE WORKPLACE WAS SHOT BY BULLETS
The judge said that he could use his right to remain silent. Dilan Polat stated that she wanted to make a defense and used the following statements:
“I have known Banu Parlak, she has been my friend for 6 years. There were times when we were angry and made up. Before she opened a beauty center, we met regularly every day. She used to come to my center and get procedures done. One week before her workplace was shot, she asked me for help and support for her business. . I said I could help. Then I saw his posts on the news saying that there was no life safety and we were responsible for this. I learned from the press and social media that the workplace was shot. I don’t even know this Dalton gang. He made threats, there are also messages related to these.
class=”mediyanet-inline-adv”>
Can Dalton even sent threatening messages to my wife, saying ‘I will take away your honor’. I don’t know why we are in the same file with the people who threaten us. We have no connection with Georgia. I went for a walk once when I was pregnant. Once, at the opening of our Rize branch, we went to visit it together with our employees and lawyers. I do not know Halil İbrahim Kalkan, who was heard as a witness in the file, and I have never seen him in my life. I just know this. I know that he threatened my wife, saying that she had a debt from my father-in-law. I am someone who is very prominent on social media. I think he wants to pay tribute to us because of our good financial situation. He even went to our Pendik branch and said, “This branch is mine, take down the signs.” He also threatened my employees. I had no enmity with Banu Parlak. I can’t understand why he targeted me and my family in such a matter. I don’t know anyone in the file except my family members. At that time, I was being slandered on social media. Everyone was attacking me. I was very confused. I do not accept the accusations. I want my acquittal. The video mentioned in the indictment had no direct addressee. I shared it in general.”

ENGİN POLAT: WE WERE LIED AND SLANDERED; WE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN VAIN FOR 6 MONTHS
Engin Polat, on the other hand, said, “I did not know Banu Parlak, I had no sincerity. I only know her as my wife’s friend. One day, she said on social media that ‘If anything happens to me, it is because of us.’ I said to my wife, ‘Isn’t this your friend, call her?’ He said to me, ‘I will not meet.’ Later, I saw in Banu Parlak’s statement that my wife called him with good intentions. ‘There were allegations about money laundering at that time. We will see in the coming days that these were lies.’ I don’t know him at all, he was calling the branches and threatening me, saying ‘Remove these signs, Dilan Polat will not be written here anymore.’ We didn’t take it seriously, but one day he went to our Pendik branch with his armed friends and threatened the employees. I said, ‘This will not happen, let’s go and complain. We went to Gayrettepe Public Order Branch and filed a complaint. As a result of our complaints, this person was punished. He made up a cover by saying he was calling because we owed him money. Later, she added Banu Parlak’s lie to this lie. We supposedly wanted Banu Parlak to be shot and we would pay 2 million liras in return. I have no connections in Georgia. I have never once called anyone from Georgia. We went on a bungalow holiday with 6 families 4.5 years ago. It was also a daily trip. 40-50 of our friends came from Istanbul for the opening of our Rize branch. From there we went to a club in Georgia. My wife was not aware of it either, and I apologize to her. I don’t know anyone from the Daltons. I learned from the newspaper that the leader of this gang was Can Dalton. This person had threatened us before. Banu Parlak’s workplace was shot, then my shop was shot 3 times. These are the people who shot up our workplace. That’s why I posted a video called ‘Dishonorables’. In response to me, he shared a post saying, “The next bullet is for you, you will see the dishonorable.” We were lied and slandered. Our commercial and personal personality was damaged. We have been detained in vain for 6 months. We were slandered because of this incident, we are the biggest victims, I demand my acquittal. “If even the slightest evidence is found on me or my family, I am willing to accept any punishment,” he said.
class=”mediyanet-inline-adv”>
In response to the question of the complainant’s lawyer, Engin Polat said, “I do not know anyone named Emirhan Döner, I have never met such a person. Fatih Gezer is my childhood friend. He called me from prison. He saw that our shop was shot in the media. He tried to help me with his own effort, saying I know this and that, but the name of the Daltons gang was not mentioned in the conversation.” .
“I SAW BANU PARLAK HERE, I HAVE NO CONNECTION”
Engin Polat’s father, Sezgin Polat, said, “In 2017, a man named Halil İbrahim Kalkan lent me 500 thousand liras. I have not seen this person. He has known me for 10 years. I do not know this person at all. He cannot borrow a penny from me. Then it comes down to business.” My son started looking for their place, ‘Dad, who is this?’ He was threatening me. He started calling all the way to Ankara. We saw that it was not going to happen, so we went to the police. After the incident, we learned that this person was taken into custody. Then the matter came to Banu Parlak. I have no connection with her. “This is a complete slander against us. I had nothing to do with the shooting at Ms. Banu’s workplace. The defendant said that I owed her money so I could pay it and get rid of it.”
At the hearing, the Polat family completed their defense. The defenses of the other defendants who attended the hearing via SEGBİS were taken.
“I FIRED WITH A GUN AND HE WAS ARRESTED”
In his defense, the arrested defendant Nizamettin Bilgili, who committed the shooting, stated that he fired 4 shots and said, “I do not know Banu Parlak, the Polat family, Barış Boyun, Batın Can and Beratcan, but I know the other defendants. I had drunk alcohol at my home on the day of the incident. My friend Yunus Emre Yıldız came to see me.” He took me on a motorbike. He said, ‘I have enemies, can you help me?’ I said, ‘Okay,’ with the confidence I had. After doing the incident, he said, ‘I needed money.’ But he didn’t say anything to me. He showed it to me. I fired a gun and it jammed. We left and went around the neighborhood. We came back an hour later. Yunus Emre Yıldız threatened me, saying ‘I’ll break his leg.’ This time, there was no police. “When we went back, I shot him 3-4 times. I supposedly deleted my phone data. There is money detail in the indictment. I did not receive any money. Nobody gave me money.”
“WE ACCEPTED THE OFFER WITHOUT THINKING”
Yunus Emre Yıldız said that Nizamettin Bilgili’s claims were unfounded and said, “We were told that no living being would be harmed, only the windows would be lowered. We also needed money. That’s why we accepted the offer to Batuhan İnci without thinking. This message sent us Batin Can.” “It came from Gökdemir. We did the job financially, but we messed it up,” he said.
DİLAN POLAT TALKED TO HER DAUGHTER AND CRIED
At that time, Dilan Polat and Engin Polat talked to each other in the defendant’s chair. Dilan Polat asked where her relatives were and Engin stated that first degree relatives were allowed in. Dilan Polat also asked ‘where is the press?’ While the hearing was continuing, Dilan Polat was seen talking to her daughter and crying. The other defendants also did not accept the accusations.
THE CASE WAS JOINED WITH THE BARIŞ BOYUN CASE
It was decided to join the case of armed attack on the beauty center of Banu Parlak, including Dilan Polat and her husband Engin Polat, with the organization case of Barış Boyun, which was heard at the Istanbul 41st High Criminal Court. Additionally, it was decided to continue the detention of the defendants. After the defense of the defendant was completed, the statement of the complainant Banu Parlak began.
“ENGİN SAYS HE DOESN’T KNOW ME, BUT WE HAVE VIDEOS”
Parlak, who started his defense by saying that he had filed a complaint, said, “That day at 21:00 in the evening, Dilan called me. ‘They took Sıla in. They will take Engini and me in too. Look, don’t do it.’ He said. My shop was shot at that night. I shared a story about it. “I said, ‘My shop was shot, I’m going there. My shop was shot again. I don’t think this crime is damage to property,’ Engin says he doesn’t know me, but we have videos.
Dilan Polat said to her lawyer at that time, “I did not say anything like that.” Polat also constantly turned around and whispered, “They are lying.” Continuing his statement, Parlak said, “A video was published about Sıla Doğu. They thought that I had published that video. Then my shop was shot. I am afraid. Ms. Dilan said, ‘Many people were coming at me at that time, I was Banu. He says the words in the video in question, but I think he shot that video for me because the people he mentioned do not have a daughter. I think Dilan Polat had them done, or rather, we were really close friends until 2019. “All the incidents started when I opened a beauty center. After this shooting incident, my shops were closed. I think about my daughter’s safety rather than myself,” he said.
“I AM A PERSON IN YOUR SIGHTS WHO OPERATES 130 BRANCHES”
After the complainant’s statement, the defendants were given the right to speak again. Dilan Polat, who said that she watched Banu Parlak’s statement in astonishment, said, “I think she did something like this completely to target me and defame me. I am a public person who runs 130 branches. I have no crime or connection.” Engin Polat said, “Banu Parlak is not someone who is ever on the edge or corner of my life. She has put us at the center of her life. I do not know her.”
DİLAN POLAT KIZINA SARILIP AĞLADI
Dilan Polat hugged her daughter and cried. The prosecutor requested the continuation of the arrest warrants for the three fugitive defendants and the detention of the other defendants. The court decided to continue the detention of the detained defendants and to combine the file with the file in Istanbul 41st High Criminal Court.
DİLAN POLAT’S RELATIVES SPIT ON BANU POLAT
On the other hand, after the hearing, Dilan Polat’s relatives shouted and spat at Banu Parlak. It was learned that Parlak will complain about Polat’s relatives.
Banu Parlak, who made a statement to journalists in front of the Küçükçekmece Palace of Justice after the proceedings, said, “I would like to say that I am truly sorry for the children. I also saw their daughters in the courtroom. But I also have a child. I have to stand behind him. I also think about the safety of my own child, I am worried about his life safety.” I was threatened with my daughter again after the hearing. I really don’t want to experience this anymore. They literally chewed the gum and spit it out. Can I explain? “What kind of courage is this? There is no way to truly understand what kind of self-confidence this is,” he said.
“I WILL SUBMIT THE VIDEOS WITH ENGİN POLAT TO THE COURT”
Speaking about the Polat family’s statement that ‘a conspiracy has been set up against us’, Parlak said, “It is called a conspiracy. Look, I do not have the power to do this. Okay? Please stop trying to create this perception in people’s eyes. What kind of power do I have to make this happen? Please, please stop trying to create this perception in people’s eyes.” I’m so tired of them trying to make me look bad by pretending to be a victim. Of course, I will present my videos with Engin Polat to the court. So, can something like this happen? My best friend is his wife. He doesn’t know me. Do you believe this? to the thing? he said.
