One of Turkey’s largest banks has published a statement saying it has nothing to do with the alleged fraud by a former manager of one of its branches through a financial pyramid scheme, as a result of which Arda Turan, Fernando Muslera and other Turkish football stars suffered, reports Reuters.
Istanbul prosecutors are seeking a 216-year prison sentence for Cecile Erzan, a former branch manager, on charges of grand fraud. According to the October indictment, Erzan stole approximately $44 million from 18 people by promising significant returns on their investments in a “secret special fund.”
Erzan convinced soccer stars to invest in the fund by telling them that iconic coach Fatih Terim also invested in the investment. Erzan paid some of the proceeds to some investors, but did not pay any proceeds or principal to most investors. The woman admitted guilt, but as a mitigating circumstance, she stated that she had returned the bulk of the money to almost all investors.

Former coach of Dynamo Kiev Alexander Showkovsky He should have been sacked in August after a poor performance in the Champions League qualifiers.
The blue-whites, who lost twice to Cypriot Paphos in the 3rd round of the European Cup (0:1 and 0:2), were relegated to the Europa League and then promoted to the Conference League.
“I know that Dinamo management believes that a change of coach could and should be made in the summer, after they lost to Paphos in the Champions League qualifiers.
Then an opportunity arose. But the necessary candidate was not available,” the source said.
Due to the lack of alternatives, the president of the Kiev club decided to leave Shovkovsky as head coach, but in November the Ukrainian specialist was nevertheless fired and left Dynamo.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
