too young
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: send me the pictures of those who can come tomorrow
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: this one, this one may be sent, make arrangement with them

Gyundyuz Akdeniz: he doesn't want, says that she won't go if there are 18-19 years old
girls, you talk to them tomorrow, ask, if she can come, is it necessary to buy tickets, say to that
girl too
Erkan Akdeniz: ready, ready, everybody is ready, I'll send you in the evening, three girls
are ready
It may be concluded, how the system operates, from this talking to Gyundyuz Akdeniz, from
the words of Gyundyuz Akdeniz: " he doesn't want the 16t\ he says, it will cause problems, he
says, she is too young" and he doesn't want, says that she won't go if there are 18-19 years old
girls, you talk to them tomorrow, ask, if she can come, is it necessary to buy tickets, say to that
girl too" it is clearly determined that Tevfik Arif already doesn't want to hire under-age suffered girls
for work;
Erkan Akdeniz: there is a 16 years old girl, very beautiful, uncle says it won't get
Musa Chelik: it won't get, your chief will get his fingers burnt, your chief will get his
fingers burnt

At first they went to Antalya and before leaving they decided to have swing, went to a disco at the Ufo
Hotel in Antalya where they met a Georgian girl Natalya. Having informed Natalya of their wish to

sexual relations, paid the money, Natalya gave them her phone number and he gave his number to
28
Natalya. Natalya and his friends were approximately 30 years old. To the question if there were any
young girls, Natalya said them at the U fo hotel disco they would not find any 18-20 year old girls and
gave them the phone number of a woman. Further to his evidence he stated,
" ... I talked with that girl by phone. She introduced herself as Buse. I said Natalya had given
me her number. At first we told her we wanted a dancer for our pleasure. She said she had one and
asked us to give her the fixed phone number. I gave her the number of the hotel phone. I was called on
that number by the woman known to be as Buse and described by you as Hulya Erdogan. She told me
on the phone that they had dancers, that they could change if we wanted, said we could take them for
east dances or for sexual relations at night. I said, ok ... I asked 3 women/or my friends. We got a deal
on the price. The woman known to me as Buse told me, "on the phone we call those girls dancers
further when calling us only with this request. Just order girls for a short program or for a long
program on stage." I mean short-time sexual relations were called "the short program" and the
sexual relations for the whole night were called "the long program". She said that we should order
girls in that manner. I asked to send her three girls for that day. I asked whether the girls were
beautiful. She told me they worked with big groups for the Mardan and Rixos hotels, and they had no
bad girls. According to our agreement she should have sent the girls to us in two days. Before the girls
arrived I called her. The woman known to me as Buse did not pick up the phone. On the day when she
was to send the girls to us she called me back. She said on the phone, "I beg your pardon, I sent the
girls to Bodrum. Big group is out there. They will perform a long program on stage, for about one
week, I'm sorry, we 'fl compensate you later ... "
They decided to find girls for sexual relations after the friends had left to perform their active
duties, and according to Buse's words, as the girls had worked with big groups, they should have been
good, thinking that she could provide beautiful Russian girls, they decided to hire the girls for sexual
relations from her, and further to his evidence he stated,
" ... We called the woman named Buse. She told us that new girls had just arrived and she had
two of them. I asked her how we could see them. She said they could not come and show them to us as
they worked only at night. She said she might send their photographs by phone or e-mail. She sent the
photos of two women to my phone via MMS. We looked at those photographs and liked the girls. We
said we wanted to take them. She told us they would cost 600. We understood it was in Tl. On the day
when we were to take the girls we asked whom we were to give the money - to the girls or to somebody
else. She said we should give the money to the driver. I said, "Good, I shall give the driver 1,200 TL. "
She said no, they worked not in TL but in dollars. We calculated each girl would cost us 1, 000 TL. We
said it was too expensive. She told us they worked with big groups. The girls were good and high-class
and said there would be no discount. I said I could not pay such money. ''

" ... Since we did not agree on the price, we could not do anything", was said in the statement.
Being informed on the content of phone calls made between him and Julia Erdogan (Buse) on April
26, 20 l O and other days, he answered the question regarding the negotiations: "I talked to Buse
specifically about using women for sex. I know this woman as a mediator in issues related to
prostitution that is paid for selecting specific women".
Statements made by the suspected Polat Ozturk: Julia Erdogan (nickname Buse) together with a
man called Akyn took part in events organized in hotels with a specific aim. They decided to cooperate
(namely- send dancers to hotels and arrange music for "Turkish nights"). For that they opened an
office in Lara, but Akyn changed his mind and refused to participate and told Polat: "Buse has also
been involved in selling women, as she would find the girls and send them to earn money by doing
specific things". Akyn did not want to earn bad reputation and said he would not be able to work with
Buse and that he would not participate in it.
However even after that Buse continued with orders for women sexual services, and for each woman
arriving from Moscow she asked 1000-2000 US dollars.
The scripts of phone calls between him and Julia Erdogan (Buse) were read out to him and he
explained that girls mentioned in those phone calls were intended for himself, and by this he confirmed
that Julia Erdogan (Buse) was in selling women for prostitution.
It was found out that Julia Erdogan has also participated in prostitution affairs within the country as a
mediator. She was assisted by Musa Chelik who would bring underage girls from abroad for
prostitution and spoke about that over the phone several times.
The tap on Julia Erdogan's mobile phone, 5398659227, recorded the following conversation
(data entered into the record under N 28) on March 8, 2010 at 13:56:
5316813837 (Musa Chelik): ... there hasn't been any news from them yet?
5316813837 (Musa Chelik): From those little ones, who are 13 or 14.
5398659227 (Julia Erdogan): No, I have already told you the total agreement sum, 1250.
30
The tap on Julia Erdogan's mobile phone, 5398659227, recorded the following conversation
(data entered into the record under N 45) on March 11, 2010 at 13:53:
5344776091: that is because he knows the market, he had many women sent to him
That confirms that Julia Erdogan was delivering underage girls and constantly communicated with
people aware of prostitution market. The recorded conversation stating "he says he wants something
"fresh", that will be cool" proves that she was specifically into selecting younger girls.
The scripts of the phone calls recorded with the help of the tap on Julia Erdogan mobile phone,
5398659227, on March 24, 2010 at 19:08 were entered into the record under N 69.
It becomes obvious that there was a trade channel organized, along which women who were said to be
models were brought to become prostitutes. There were also other men involved in this organized
trade.
Julia Erdogan had a phone call with a certain man who did not want to identify himself:
05305452191: They shall be young and very beautiful, they shall speak Turkish. If they don't match
these criteria, we don't need them. One of my friends here says that they must be models, that's the
most important.
05305452191: Let me ask you something. Do you remember 2 girls that I sent here?
Following the investigation to identify and chase the suspected persons it was found out that underage
girls were brought to Turkey to become prostitutes. At this Julia Erdogan used to specify her requests
to certain persons who were connected to her as mediator.

In statements of Abu Bekir Syddyk Takina it is said that he worked in jewelry store Ilyadon in Riksos
Premium Belek hotel, and he was employed by Fesikh Taminje. About a year and a half ago at hotel's
disco party he saw 5 or 6 Russian girls together with Musa Chelik. Musa asked him what his job was,
and he replied that he was into selling jewelry. Musa then said that he had a modeling agency and
confirmed that he brought models to Turkey: "Then he explained what he was doing. He brought girls
here for prostitution, and added that if more girls came he would send some to me. He gave me his
phone number. I also gave him my phone number ... Then I called him using his number. I wanted him
to bring me a woman."
During the interrogation Abu Bekir Syddyk Takin was asked how Musa Chelik brought women in
order to make prostitutes out of them and said the following: "Musa Chelik used to send me girls'
photos over Internet. I looked at them. Was pointing out those that I liked and he was giving me their
price, from 2000 to 2500 US dollars. Then I was making the final selection and he was confirming the
deal. I asked Musa Chelik twice to confirm that he was sending me a prostitute. Musa Chelik is indeed
in that business. Thus I became sure that Musa Chelik was into bringing prostitutes from abroad."
Further on he continued: "Musa Chelik sent the photos of women I liked to my e-mail. He also sent
those photos to Mr.Fesikh e-mail. But if Fesikh was at the meeting or did not pick up the phone, Musa
Chelik called me. Girls' photos then were sent to me. Sometimes I had lots of such photos. It was not
important that I would like them. More influential people connected to this structure should have
agreed first. I have to repeat that I told Musa Chelik twice that I wanted a girl for myself. Once I paid
Musa Chelik 2200 US dollars for a girl, and another time, when she was ordered for an orgy, I paid
him 1700 US dollars."
There have been lots of phone calls recorded via taps that confirm mediating activities of Musa Chelik
regarding great number of women. He sent women's photos to e-mails, discussed their age, their
arrival cost, their stay duration. Also a certain person was mentioned who used to have a large group of
women as a separate order. At this Musa Chelik was told that "goods shall be examined". In another
phone call with Abu Bekir he said: "inform the boss, I sent one to him as well. You have her photo in
mail". This was the answer to the question who he was mediating for.
Furthermore, he added the following: "All approved calls scripts are correct. It is true that I paid Musa
Chelik and he sent me prostitutes. Those women were Russian, that is also true. According to what
Musa told me, those were girls from Moscow modeling agency. Musa told me that was modeling
agency was the channel he used for bringing women.
I confirm that I ordered a woman for Fesikh Taminje and was his direct mediator. I also confirm that I
carried out several negotiations about that, but, as I stated earlier, only in cases when they could not
talk directly. Then they would negotiate through me. I did not go to the airport to meet women who
came to serve as prostitutes. Musa himself brought me women, and those women who had arrived for
Fesikh Taminje were met by a driver, Vejsi Avji ... "
This proves the fact that models that Musa Chelik ordered as prostitutes were brought to Turkey,
which is confirmed by mentioned negotiations.
The tap for overhearing phone calls allowed recording a call between Musa Chelik and Abu Bek.ir
Syddyk on February 18, 20 l 0. The script was entered into the record under N 2.
32
Musa Chelik: Bekir, send me a photo.
Bekir: My photo?
Bekir: And?
Bekir: And?
Musa Chelik: Usually they ask for 2000 US dollars per day
Bekir: And?
Musa Chelik: I talked to one model and she wanted to see your photo. Said if she likes you, she will
give a discount.
Bekir: Wow!
Musa Chelik: I laughed myself, but said you are young and handsome, they usually go to old ones.
Musa Chelik: No, just with your face on the photo, send it to me, and I will send it to their mail.
33
It's becoming obvious that they spoke about women to use them as prostitutes, bring to Turkey and
sell their sex services. While talking the suspects used the word "models", but in fact they talked about
prostitutes.
Vejsi Avji gave the following statement: "I know Musa Chelik, the man you ask me about. However, I
never met him personally. We only talked over the phone. I was given Musa Chelik's phone number
by Abu Bekir Syddyk, who worked at Riksos Premium Belek. While with friends he once mentioned
his name to me and said that the guy sells Russian women and gave me the number of Musa Chelik.
After that I called the number that I was given by Abu Bekir. I told Musa that I was given his number
by Abu Bekir and would like to order a woman for myself. After that first call he said he would call
me back. I assume he wanted to get information about me. In 2-3 days he called back to specify what
exactly I wanted. I said that I wanted to order a Russian woman. As far as I remember, when we talked
first time he mentioned the price, it was 1500 US dollars for one woman. The woman came to Turkey
from Russia. So I received my ordered prostitute. I gave money to Musa personally. After that we had
some more negotiations of that kind, and I kept on ordering women through Musa".
It was founded out that the suspect Vejsi Avji not only held those negotiations for himself, but also
acted as mediator. The script in the record shows phone negotiations with Musa Chelik on March 19,
2010, where Musa Chelik says the following: "Vejsi, look, I've talked recently to the boss. I know his
taste. He likes mature ones, 25-28, and these are 16-18, he won't like them. If he wants I will send him
a very beautiful one tomorrow."
That phone negotiation of March 19, 2010 was about 25 year old Sofia, citizen of Russia. Being asked
how they could see the girls personally, Musa Chelik said he could send their photos by e-mail, then he
could look through them, choose and say which he liked. Musa Chelik sometimes held negotiations
with women, and usually they discussed girls' height, age, eyes and hair color, citizenship, agreed on
price for girls to come and how to meet them and where to take, who would take them. Sometimes
those were negotiations about several girls at a time. For example, on March 20, 2010 Musa Chelik
was negotiating looking at the photos and saying: "There is one, called Natalia, she's 18, Valentina is
19, Galina, 1,74 height, Anastasia 1,75 height, both 19 year old, Elena is 20, Marina is 1,74 cm, Nastya
16 year old, Sofia 25 year old." After all personal characteristics and names of girls were discussed,
Musa Chelik said: "25 year old Sofia can come to the boss." Vejsi confirmed that, and Musa added:
"There can be one more before her, Alyona". When asked if he was a mediator for another person, he
answered:
"All those negotiations took place. I visited website of Musa Chelik, chose women there. I would write
down names and personal characteristics of girls. Then I would tell that to Musa Chelik. The Musa
would start searching. If it was possible, he negotiated with them on their arrival. It never happened
that anyone could always come. Prices for girls would change from 700 to 1500 US dollars. That was
the price for one day, precisely for one night. Depending on how long she would stay, the price
multiplied by the number of those days ... The mentioned boss was Fesikh Taminje. He is my friend.
From time to time he also talked to Musa about women. When Musa could not reach him on the
phone, he talked through me. And I sent those orders to him. The girls were brought to Fesikh
Taminje ... "
34
"I ordered a prostitute through Musa Chelik 4-5 times. As far as I remember, two times I ordered
Russian women for myself, and each time I paid 700 US dollars. Minimum three times Musa Chelik
brought Russian women for F esikh.
Musa Chelik pretended he cooperated with modeling agency, but instead he brought prostitutes from
Russia. As far as I know this is how he acts." It was confirmed that Musa Chelik continuously used
recommendations ofTeufik Arif and often brought him women for sex services.
While interrogating Fesikh Taminje, he confirmed that Abu Bekir Syddyk worked in a jewelry store
Ilyadon and told him several times that using Musa Chelik's services he could bring women from
Russia for prostitution, and that photos of girls could be seen in Internet. He also stated that he never
met Musa Chelik personally. Once he ordered a woman named Sofia, but the girl could not come
because of her schedule. He also said that once he took a woman to Antalia for himself, but then he
found out that it was not the girl he had chosen before by photo, he did not like her and he sent her
back.
"Everyone knows that. Musa Chelik's business is bringing models who become prostitutes in Turkey.
As far as I know, Abu Bekir was well aware of that. .. " He continued his testimony saying that the
scripts of all his phone calls were correct, and confirmed that he was given girls' names via Internet.
He said he looked through photos and chose women he liked, identified them with numbers they were
given, negotiated the price for those women including transfer and air flight that was 1500 US dollars,
but added at the end that the girl he had ordered did not come.
to Antalia::.bb:t to Bodru
The tap on Teufik Arif's mobile phone, 0530692428, recorded the following conversation (data
entered into the record under N 7) on May 25, 2010 at 15:58:
Gunduz Akdeniz: He says there is no place to stay in Izmir, we can only stay in a place near the
fountain, it's called "Alachaty".
35
Teufik Arif: You talk to him straight away and ask when he wants it, and do it this way.
Thus, Gunduz Akdeniz agreed on the rent of Savarona with its owner, Kakhraman Sadykogly.
While overhearing the phone calls it was founded out that Savarona was rented twice. First agreement
was concluded with "GEMI KURTARMA DENIZJILIK VE TOURISM A.S." JSC on June 7, 2010 on
the rent of the yacht till June 11, 2010 with payment of 194,067.79 US dollars+ VAT (18%). The
person to rent the yacht was GUNDUZ AKDENIZ.
'
He answered a leading question on how the rental charge for the Kahraman Sadikoglu' s yacht had been
appraised: 'The Savarona rental charge depends on the terms of lease. Net rent price of the yacht with the
crew varies from $35,000 to $50,000. But, as I mentioned before, all expenses, including beverage foods and
meals required, are added to the rent price, which is usually fixed in the agreement of affreightment'. This
statement has been entered into the examination record.
In the course of tapping of means of communication it has been established that from June 6, 20 IO to
June I 0, 20 IO women, arrived from Russia, were sent to Bod rum as well as that some of them were sent to the
Savarona yacht.
After the fact that on June I 0, 20 IO the suspects conveyed women to Bodrum for the purpose of
prostitution had been established, on the basis of transcript of talks recording, made by technical watch
facilities, it has been recorded that in the airport there was a transport vehicle of the make Renault Megane

to the Savarona and, according to wiretapping records, it has been established that the women were supposed
to be deported back to their native countries at 09.35 in the morning.
On the basis of wiretapping it has been established that on June 11, 2010 the transport vehicle with
the registration number 34 AH 2847, driven by Dzhamil Tokaly, was examined. Along with the identity of

2565615) and a Moldavian citizen Alisa Gorbacheva (passport No. A 2060792) has been determined, which
has also been recorded by watch facilities. By means of watch facilities it has also been established that after
the order had been given at 15.45 to send some of the women back to their native countries, the women were
carried to the airport by means of the transport vehicle Mercedes Vito with the registration number 34 TT
3046, and at the moment of examination by the Road Control Service the women who were in the said

citizen Valentina Kleshcheva (July I 0, 1991 year of birth, passport No. 63 4613070). Copies of passports of
the above mentioned women have been made.
From July 6. 2010 to July 11, 2010 Gunduz Akdeniz, Eldar Bayiogluev, Erkan Aknediz and Musa
Chelik were holding negotiations, resulted in that women had been carried to the Savarona as prostitutes. The
36
majority of women had been delivered by efforts of a criminal group, and Anna Nikitina arrived the last. She
was picked up from the airport by Eldar Bayiogluev. Most part of the negotiations on the transfer of these
women has been recorded, and through intermediary of Musa Chelik some of telephone talks have been
protocolled under the numbers ttoMepaMH: 445, 447 448, 450, 451, 452, 453, 454. 455, 456, 457, 458, 459,
460,461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 472. 473. 474. 475. 476, 477,478. 481, 482. 483.
It has also been established that some of the women had been transferred through intermediary of a certain
person named fii.iiil.
Numerous women, who were planned to engage in prostitution by efforts of the criminal group, were
mentioned in these talks.
Talks between Musa Chelik and Gunduz Akdeniz on June 8, 2010 have been protocolled under the
number 480; Musa Chelik asked Gunduz Akdeniz if there were any problems with women. Gunduz Akdeniz
confirmed that there were no problems and women were all right. Then Musa asked: 'What about ours?' and
Giindi.iz Akdeniz answered: 'Both theirs and ours are OK'.
Giindiiz Akdeniz: No, he didn't. He just said in the evening to separate the best of the fresh ones from
agencies.
Musa Chelik: Yea, moreover, you know what I said to him? You know Olesya?
Musa Chelik: Everything has turned out well, I hadn't even have to lie
Thus, the above mentioned talks confirm that the Savarona was planned to house many
businessmen and women, provided by the criminal group. A certain person named ~ also took part
in that, transferring women in the name of Moskovitcij; besides women arrived in the name of Tevfik
Arif also due to the efforts of the criminal group.
It may be said with certainty that it could be possible to take suspected members of the criminal
group unawares in Antalya, their place of action, which is confirmed by the recorded talks of the
Savarona rent.
37
So, this SMS proves that women were supposed to arrive from Russia for the purpose of
prostitution, on September 25, 2010 they were supposed to come from Russia to Istanbul, and then
transferred to Bodrum.
On September 25, 2010 at 12.30 women arrived to the Bodrum airport where they were met by
responsible persons. It has been recorded that there arrived 9 foreign citezens, and only 3 of them
provided their passport data; in Bodrum they were provided with accommodation in the Rixos Hotel.
It has been established on September 26, 2010 that Tevfik Arif did not liked Ekaterina Korovina,
provided to him for rendering sexual services, after which she had been sent back. All members of the
criminal group have been arrested. To obtain necessary evidence it has been decided to send
everybody to the Savarona for searching. During the raid the following people have been detained
aboard the Savarona yacht:
Albina Pertseva, who arrived to Turkey with the help of Eldar Akdeniz for the purpose of prostitution,
Ludmila Batayikina, arrested together with all the suspects, Aleksandra Tarasik, Ilona Kudentsova,
Kseniya Gladkova, Kristina Kolesnitsova, Valeriya Pristupa, Liliya Bobrovska, and Kristina Zhukova.
On September 17, 2010 at 15.42 Gunduz Akdeniz and Erkan Akdeniz were talking on the telephone, which
has been recorded by a telephone bug. This telephone talk proves that from September 25 to October 3, 20 IO
criminals were planning to organize an event aimed at bringing women from Russia for the purpose of
prostitution, and the total number of women was 22.
The detainees confirmed women who were supposed to arrive from abroad, rented a yacht for the
period from June 4 to June 10, 2010 where they brought selected women, and on September 25, 2010
they rented the Savarona yacht where they brought more women for the purpose of prostitution.
Some of women, brought from June 4 to June 10, 20 l 0, were planned to send back on June 9,
2010. It has been recorded at the moorage that women were disembarking the yacht and their baggage
was being unshipped. The same records show Eldar Bayiogluev and Gunduz Akdeniz helping women to
disembark. On June 9, 2010 Tevfik Arif stayed aboard together with other businessmen, who then arrived to
the Bodrum marina; the same day a camera has recorded Tevfik Arif drinking tea with women in the Bodrum
marina.
From September 25 to October 3, 2010 the Savarona yacht was planned to house an event during
which Erkan Akdeniz by means of a Russian modal agency confirmed and brought female prostitutes
to Turkey. Among them there were Albina Pertseva, who arrived to Turkey on September 25, 2010,
Ludmila Batyaikina and Ekaterina Korovina; all in all 9 women have been recorded by a surveillance
camera.
These women were carried to the Rixos Bodrum Hotel by a minibus and an automobile with the
registration number 34 TT 5956.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2010, SEARCH ABOARD THE SAVARONA YACHT DURING THE RAID
ORGANIZED ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2010
The following women have been detained aboard the Savarona yacht: Kristina Zhukova (November
26, 1989), Ilona Kudinova (September 10, 1990), Ludmila Batyaikina (February 16, 1992), Kristina
Kolesnikova (December 26, 1988), Kseniya Gladkova (February 29, 1992), Albina Pertseva (August
25, 1992), Aleksandra Tarasik (August 10, 1989), Valeri ya Pristupa (August 31, 1988), and Liliya
Bobrovska (August 7, 1987). They have been carried to Antalya, but refused to testify and sign
protocols.
Thus, in the course of the investigation concerning actions of 9 women, engaged in prostitution,
who has been carried to Antalya, it has been established that two of them, playing the leading roles,
told to others not to bear any witness or sign anything and threatened those who wanted to testify.
It has been proposed to hold negotiations with the Russian Consulate to make women feel safe;
women have also been proposed a Russian-speaking barrister from the college of advocates, they have
been giving right to contact their relatives, but women refused all this. Later some women said that
they were going only to the Savarona, but they were governed by Ilona Kudentsova, who had been
arrested and accused by another reason. The 1 oth Criminal Court of Antal ya possesses information,
according to which on September 30, 2010 at 16.42 Ilona sent SMS of the following content: 'don't
bear any witness. None of you' from the cellular telephone NOKIA 6700C-1: +79653327287. This
fact has been protocolled under the number 2010/346 as of October 1, 2010.
Then again, on September 30, 2010 another SMS was sent from the number +79653327287:
'everything is falling, keep silent, sign nothing, they are beyond control and have no power, you'll
come back home soon'.
Further on, on October 1, 2010 at 02.02 an SMS was sent from the number +79163456634: 'Ilona,
you don't know these men, don't worry, you just turned out to be at a wrong time at a wrong place,
keep the girls silent as a grave, tell nothing to the consul'. Everybody followed the instructions.
In fact, none of the women, carried to Turkey for the purpose of prostitution, has ever been
assaulted by the criminal group, but during the conducted operation women were forced to keep silent,
not to bear witness and not to sign anything, which is proved by SMS sent by Ilona to all women.
During the investigation, carried out by the Republican Procuration, it has become evident that
women are going to follow the instructions and will not give testimony on the case. They were
forbidden to talk about their place of employment in Russia, or about a certain model agency, all of
them were forced to keep silent. During examination of the legal claim, it has been established that the
suspects exerted a direct influence on women; however they have not lodged any complaint against the
criminal group.
Evidence given by Tevfik Arif: in general Arif is not agreed with accusations; he obtained a Turkey
passport in 1994; he said that earlier he created the Labada Hotel and then introduced it into the
structure of Rixos Hotels. He also stated: 'In general, I contributed to financial support of the Rixos
Group. I brought my partners from the Republic of Turkey. I have never had any efficient partnership
39
in those hotels. But I'mstill connected with Rixos Hotels. But these are some legal aspects and a
separate topic for discussion'. When interviewed concerning his role in transference of women, most
of whom were minor, for the purpose of prostitution together with Musa Chelik and Erkan Akdeniz
through the modal agencies, he said:
'I spend my spare time with other businessmen ... The rule is that businessmen take their beloved to
such meetings. And I ensure transfer for them. And that is all. Two or three months ago I rented that
yacht. Together with other businessmen from Russia and other countries we negotiated about
investments. We were having rest. All negotiations concerning the Savarona were held by Gunduz and
Kahraman Sadikoglu.
All women who arrived to the Savarona were inveted as guests of those businessmen. These were
them who invited those women for the first and second meetings. I didn't bring anyone. We only
transferred those women. As they don't know Turkey, we help models to travel around the country.
We take them from the airport and drive to hotels or to the yacht'.
According to the record, made with telephone bugs, on demand of Gunduz Akdeniz, Musa Chelik
negotiated with Erkan Akdeniz a transfer of models from Russia for the party that was supposed to take place
from March 15 to March 21, 20 IO in Antalya.
It has been established that certain women were picked out according to requirements of Tevfik
Arif, and on the basis of the video record, obtained by the Criminal Court, it has been established that
on March 15, 2010 at 19.23 the selected women arrived from Russia to the Antalya airport, as it had
been agreed upon with Musa Chelik. Women were met by Kemal Tokay and then accommodated in
the Belek Rixos Premium Hotel.
So, it has been established that Kemal Tokay met foreign women in the airport. To identify those
women, the traffic gendarmerie stopped the vehicle near the city of Belek at 20.00 on March 15.
Among people who were in the vehicle, there were: underage citizen of Russia Vasilisa Savatayeva
(1994), underage citizen of Germany Stefania Ruschikova (1994), underage citizen of Russia Kseniya
Zakharova (1993), citizen of Russia Olesya Moskalets (1992), citizen of Russia Veronika Danilina
( 1991). It has been duly protocolled; besides, on the basis of records made with hotel surveillance
cameras, it has been established that young women were not registered in the hotel. Concerning this
fact, Tevfik Arif said:
According to testimonies of Gunduz Akdeniz, Musa Chelik, Eldar Bayiogluev, Kemal Tokay, Erkan
Akdeniz, those young women had obviously arrived to Antalya, and then they had been accommodated in the
Rixos Hotel by order of Tevfik Arif. In connection with the fact that young women had been accommodated
in the Belek Rixos Premium Hotel, the suspected Tevfik Arif was reminded of the fact that young women
were recorded with surveillance cameras in hotel gyms and on different floors of the hotel. This is how he
commented upon this statement:
'I won't agree with this. I've never seen these young girls'.
When acquainted with the printout of numerous telephone talks between Gunduz Akden iz and Eldar
Bayiogluev, he also said that he would not accept such statements and that by the word ·contract' he meant
'agreement'. Arif denies imputation of intermediation in prostitution and human trafficking and does not
admit his guilt. Besides. during judicial examination he said that he had invested in Turkey $15 billion and
promoted investments from foreign citizens. He also said that the raid. conducted aboard Savarona. and his
40
arrest are not justified by the fact that the police found come condoms and some guys, having fun with
women in Jacuzzi after the party, because he has no relation to these events.
He has worked with Tevfik Arif for a long time and has been his driver and assistant. Tevfik Arif has
been his boss for 17 years. He retired in 2004 and is living in Tevfik Arif's house in Istanbul.
At Tevfik Arif's request, he brought many women from abroad and using Musa Chelik and Erkan
Akdeniz he brought the girls, both younger and older than 18, intending to use them in prostitution.
He was asked a question in connection with this, to which he answered as follows:
"During the meetings, Tevfik Arif usually calls on the phone. He might tell me that he is arriving on
the fifth. Then I get a hotel ready for him. I reserve seats in restaurants. If he wanted to rent a yacht, I
did it. He also comes here to meet with businessmen about investments. They come with guests,
models. Since they doh 't speak Turkish, I arrange their transportation. Sometimes fashion model
guests also come to see Mr. Tevfik and he might ask us to arrange for some models. We also invite
them. I take care of any associated air transportation and transportation. Typically Eldar Baygouev
did this, as well. I just took care of transportation." He also stated the following:
"I call Musa Chelik regarding the modeling agency. Musa Chelik uses his connections to supply
models from Russia. If I can't get a hold of Musa, I call Erkan Akdeniz to tell him to bring models.
Then he calls the modeling agency, gets their pictures and sends them to me. I look at them. From the
pictures, I pick women based on the requests and what's going on that day, and I pass on the
information about them. They, in tum, tell the agency. Afterwards, Eldar Baygouev handles
everything. Eldar makes the decisions about tickets and reservations. If the girls have arrived in
Antalya, I call Kemal Tokay. I ask him to bring them to the hotel. Usually we take them to the Riksos
Premium hotel. If they're thinking about Bodrum, then the Riksos hotel there has their own network
of rental cars. There's a man there by the name of Semikh. I get in touch with him. We give him the
information about the incoming flight. We collect the guests or girls at the airport and take them to the
hotel."
Gyundyuz Akdeniz brought minors and adult women to Turkey several times at the instruction and
request of Tevfik Arif. Information obtained from what we heard and from the video surveillance
shows that the women they didn't like were sent back and this was entered into the record. To the
question "What was the purpose of bringing the women?" he answered as follows:
41
"We invited these girls for companionship at lunch, dinner, and on walks. Mr. Tevfik and his friends
very often would show up accompanied by women. Mr. Tevfik constantly held meetings with
businessmen about investments. He would bring beautiful women and seat them at the table to
decorate it, like flowers. His own girls usually sat next to him.
I do not show pictures of the girls to Tevfik Arif very often. I choose them myself. If the girls aren't
pretty enough for us, we send them back. Whenever we sent girls back, it was always because they
weren't pretty enough. Some of the girls themselves would say that this wasn't the right situation for
them and they were leaving."

It was also established that Erkan Akdeniz chose Albina Pertseva, Lyudmila
Batyaikina, and Ekaterina Karoniva on Sept. 25, 2010 and they were delivered to the Savarona yacht.
The women who were chosen by Musa Chelik and Erkan Akdeniz should have been sent to the Belek
Riksos Premium Hotel on March 15, 2010 and to do this, Kemal Tokay was given instructions to meet
them at the Antalya airport and deliver them to the hotel.
After getting confirmation that Tevfik Arif had ordered women from Russia and they had arrived in
Antalya, it became evident from the video surveillance recording that had been obtained that the
women arrived at the Antalya airport on March 15, 2010 at 7:23 pm, at Musa Chelik's request. They
were met at the airport by Kemal Tokay and he took them to the Belek Riksos Premium Hotel.
So, it was established that Kemal Tokay met the foreign women at the airport. In order to verify their
identity, their car was stopped by the traffic gendannerie near the city of Belek at 8:00 pm on March
15, 2010. Among the people in the car were: Vasilisa Savateeva, an underage Russian citizen, born
1994; Stefaniya Ruschikova, an underage German citizen, born 1994; Kseniya Zakharova, an underage
Russian citizen, born 1993; Olesa Moskalets, a Russian citizen, born 1992, and Veronika Danilina, a
Russian citizen, born 1991. All of this was entered into the record of the investigation. In addition,
information was obtained from the video surveillance camera at the hotel and it was established that
the girls were also not registered at the hotel itself. He was asked about this, and this is the answer he
gave, "I don't specify that the girls have to be 16. I just provide women or models. You'd think a 16-
year-old girl could come here as a model without her parents' permission. Since I didn't know about
the hazards of getting them here, I didn't have anything to do with it. I didn't know whether underage
girls came to us. I just look at the photographs and pick them. That day I didn't know who arrived."
42
.It was established that eight rooms were reserved at the Riksos Premium from March 15-21, 2010.
However, there is no information about the women's arrival in the hotel's guest registration book. The
suspect, who had not yet used his right to remain silent, when asked why the underage girls weren't
registered at the hotel, decided to use his right to remain silent.
He familiarized himself with the recordings of the conversations about supplying underage girls and
confirmed that he participated in this, he knew about Musa Chelik's and Erkan Akdeniz's connection
with the modeling agency, he knew that the girls chosen from the photographs were sent to Turkey,
and he had even heard that some of the girls were minors. On March 15, 2010, underage girls arrived
at the Antalya airport. Their identities were verified by the gendarmerie at a roadside stop, and then
information was requested about their hotel registration. Then it became clear that there might be
problems because the girls were not 18. He told Tevfik Arif about this and after that incident they did
not bring in any more girls under 18.
Recordings of telephone conversations made from a listening device were documented and
entered into the record. These recordings were made on Erkan Akdeniz's mobile telephone
number on March 29, 2010 at 3:08 pm (under number 9).
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: he doesn't want these 16-year-olds - he says they're too young, there'll be
problems
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: send me pictures of the ones who can come tomorrow
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: then talk to them and tell me who can come
Erkan Akdeniz: the 16-year-olds went to Miami earlier, as far as I know, but OK, it doesn't matter, I'm
not going to mix anything up
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: no, he doesn't want them, he says we can't. Ask if there are any 18- or 19-year-
olds, if they can come tomorrow, if you can get the plane tickets
Erkan Akdeniz: they're ready, they're ready, everything's ready, I'll send you their three photographs
by tonight
As to the question about Tevfik Arif earlier negotiating about waiting to invite the 16-year-old girls, he
answered that the information from the conversations was true and he confirmed that his boss (Tevfik
Arif) did not want to do business with minors and in the continuation of his testimony he claimed:
43
"I don't agree with the accusation of having created a criminal gang or that we brought women here as
prostitutes. I carried out the orders I received from the man I worked for. I don't have the right to
raise objections with my boss. And he didn't tell me he wanted prostitutes. He only spoke about
having women and models present at his meetings. I didn't make any profit or do any business deals
out of this." It appeared so from his statements, but the record in which all the conversations were
entered, the recordings from the surveillance cameras, and the bank statement all show that he received
$2,500 from Tevfik Arif for each woman that was brought in. From this amount he paid the agency
$600 and the girls got $600 a day. After deducting the expenses for air travel and transportation, each
person got $1,000 and it was shown that this money was subsequently divided between Erkan
Akdeniz, Musa Chelik, and Eldar Baygouev.
He said that he previously worked for Tevfik Arif, that he was Gyundyuz Akdeniz's uncle and that
during the time he worked with Gyundyuz Akdeniz he was an intermediary in the dealings with the
modeling agency and he took part in delivering girls to Turkey. He said that these agencies are located
in Moscow, that they were VIP modeling agencies, that the agency emailed him photographs of the
girls, that the girls' names were used in telephone conversations in order to invite them as guests, and
for the contract, and then eventually the pictures of the girls were sent to Eldar Baygouev, Tevfik
Arif's assistant, and Eldar arranged the girls' transportation - he met them at the airport and took them
to the hotel. He also sent money to the girls' account.
On Sept. 24, 2010 at 7:43 pm, the suspect Erkan Adkeniz sent a text message, the contents of which
were entered into the record under number 3:
CONTENTS OF THE TEXT MESSAGE: "Albina Pertseva, Lyudmila Batyaikina, and Ekaterina
Koroniva. I can't reach Eldar on the phone." He was questioned about this and he answered as follows:
"I ordered these girls from the VIP modeling agency and Eldar bought their tickets. Eldar told me he
bought the tickets and emailed them to me. I emailed these tickets to the modeling agency. The girls
arrived in Bod.rum on these tickets. And I don't know where they went after they got to Bodrum. I
don't know if they went to the Savarona or not."
.After getting confirmation that Tevfik Arif had ordered women from Russia and they had arrived in
Antalya, it was documented, based on the video surveillance recording that had been obtained, that the
women arrived at the Antalya airport on March 15, 2010 at 7:23 pm, at Musa Chelik's request. They
were met at the airport by Kemal Tokay and he took them to the Belek Riksos Premium Hotel.
44
So, it was established that Kemal Tokay met the foreign women at the airport. In order to verify their
identity, their car was stopped by the traffic gendarmerie near the city of Belek at 8:00 pm on March
15, 2010. Among the people in the car were: Vasilisa Savateeva, an underage Russian citizen, born
1994; Stefaniya Ruschikova, an underage German citizen, born 1994; Kseniya Zakharova, an underage
Russian citizen, born 1993; Olesa Moskalets, a Russian citizen, born 1992, and Veronika Danilina, a
Russian citizen, born 1991. All of this was entered into the record of the investigation. In addition,
information was obtained from the video surveillance camera at the hotel and it was established that
the girls were also not registered at the hotel itself. He was asked about this and he answered as
follows:
Two photos of these girls were received in advance. Possibly one was Olesa Moskalets - all the
photographs were on the computer. Possibly he emailed these photos to Gyundyuz Akdeniz. He said
possibly he acted as an intermediary to provide girls, and he also said that possibly Musa Chelik was
also an intermediary in these matter.
Recordings of telephone conversations made from a listening device were documented and
entered into the record. These recordings were made on Erkan Akdeniz's mobile telephone
number on March 29, 2010 at 3:08 pm (under number 9).
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: he doesn't want these 16-year-olds - he says they're too young, there'll be
problems
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: send me pictures of the ones who can come tomorrow
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: then talk to them and tell me who can come
Erkan Akdeniz: the 16-year-olds went to Miami earlier, as far as I know, but OK, it doesn't matter, I'm
not going to mix anything up
Gyundyuz Akdeniz: no, he doesn't want them, he says we can't. Ask if there are any 18- or 19-year-
olds, if they can come tomorrow, if you can get the plane tickets
45
Erkan Akdeniz: they're ready, they're ready, everything's ready, I'll send you their three photographs
by tonight
As to the question about the underage girls who were invited earlier, but the girls invited on March 15,
2010 were not registered in the hotels guest registration book and in order to avoid problems like this
in the future, he refused to accept such young girls. To the question about the circumstances, he
answered as follows:
"All these girls are models. They can work with their parents' permission, if they are over 15. Mr.
Gyundyuz came to me with a request. I negotiated with the agency. And as a result, three girls were
confirmed. And I found them. I don't offer anyone 16-year-old girls. The agency suggested that to
me. And then I communicated their offer to them. Other than the girls mentioned above, no one else
was brought in during September. It's more accurate to say that I just send photographs of the models.
I don't have anything to do with their arrival and departure. I didn't receive any money associated
with the last three girls. Eldar always sends money to my account. Eldar was also among those
detained. The agency did not receive money for these girls."
It was established that on March 15, 16, and 17, he, along with Musa Chelik, brought the adult and
underage girls to Antalya, and along with Kemal Tokay, collected the girls from the Antalya airport
and sent them to the Riksos Premium hotel. The recordings from the video surveillance camera were
entered into the record. They show how the girls went into the hotel, appeared at the reception desk,
left their hotel room, and exercised in the hotel's gymnasium. Later it became clear that the girls were
not registered in the hotel, that the registration had been made in the name of Gyundyuz Akdeniz, and
thus it was concealed that there were underage girls in the hotel. Recordings of negotiations were
obtained that confirmed that the girls had definitely been supplied as prostitutes. The suspect had a
specific role in how the girls arrived in Turkey and he was involved in human trafficking and acting as
an intermediary for prostitution. However, the suspect is not admitting his guilt on these charges.
During the questioning about adult and underage girls being ordered from a modeling agency and
brought to Turkey from Russia for the purposes of prostitution at the request of Tevrik Arif and at the
instruction of Gyundyuz Akdeniz and Erkan Akdeniz, Musa Chelik was asked, "What was the purpose
of bringing the women?"
46
activities along with foreign businessmen. During these meetings, he asks me to find him some
women. I establish contacts with Russian agencies in order to do this, and I try to find suitable models
for them. Besides my own contacts I've established, I sometimes also find girls on my own on the
Internet. I go to websites and look for suitable models and correspond with them. I ask if they want to
earn some money. If she confirms that she wants to work, then I have this kind of conversation about
the work. First of all, they ask about how much they'll get. There's a standard price for this women -
$500 a day. All the expenses (the hotel, travel, accommodation, etc.) are calculated separately. Some
girls won't agree to come for that price. They ask for $1,000 to $5,000. After that, we send the girls'
photographs and preferences to our clients. If the client agrees, we set up a way for them to contact
each other and we determine the dates when they should arrive. After we get confirmation of their
arrival, I tell Gyundyuz Akdeniz and Eldar Baygouev. As a result, if they like the girl, they put in an
order for her to come. They organize their air travel and all the associated expenses. When the girls
arrive in Turkey, like I said earlier, certain people meet them at the airport and bring them to the hotel.
Usually we send the recent arrivals to the Riksos Premium hotel in the city of Belek."
And in continuation of this testimony: "When they ordered girls from us, they always talked about
models, just models. If they were ordering a prostitute, then that's what they would have called her.
ever did Tevrik Arif or his colleagues ever indicate that prostitutes were what they needed. They
always said that they needed models. I can't make conjectures about what they did with the girls who
arrived since I didn't see anything personally with my own eyes. I can't say anything about that."
Recordings of telephone conversations made from a listening device were documented and
entered into the record. These recordings were made on Musa Chelik's mobile telephone
number, 5316813837, on Feb. 18, 2010 at 3:21 pm (under number 2).
5316813837 (Musa Chelik): I said that the client was young and good-looking.
5316813837 (Musa Chelik): they usually want $2,000 for two days
5316813837 (Musa Chelik) I talked to the model and she is asking me to send her your picture. She
says if she likes him she' II come for less money.
47
The girl agreed to Musa Chelik's high price. Musa Chelik was reminded of all of this during the
interrogation, to which he answered, "I don't want to testify about that."
It was established that the suspect, Ebu Bekir Syddyk Tekinu, ordered women for the purposes of
prostitution and that Musa Chelik was the person who arranged for these women to be delivered. The
sum of $1,700 was once received from this person and once $2,200. Women were ordered for the
purposes of prostitution a total of two times and Musa Chelik and Fesikh Tamindzhe had more than
one telephone conversation on this subject. He was asked about the recordings of the negotiations that
were listened to and entered into the record concerning bringing in underage girls for the purposes of
prostitution and where Musa Chelik acted as an intermediary and he answered as follows:
"In March of 2010 I brought in very young girls. They were about 16 or 17. I brought them in at
Tevfik Arif's request. To be precise, Gyundyuz Akdeniz phoned me with that request. Sometimes I
talked to Eldar about that. But typically the person I negotiated with about that was Gyundyuz
Akdeniz. I was the one who brought in the girls who arrived on March 15, 2010. I brought in 2 or 3
girls at that time."
After getting confirmation that Tevrik Arif had ordered women from Russia and they had arrived in
Antalya, it was documented, based on the video surveillance recording that had been obtained, that the
women arrived at the Antalya airport on March 15, 2010 at 7:23 pm, at Musa Chelik's request. They
were met at the airport by Kemal Tokay and he took them to the Belek Riksos Premium Hotel.
So, it was established that Kemal Tokay met the foreign women at the airport. In order to verify their
identity, their car was stopped by the traffic gendarmerie near the city of Belek at 8:00 pm on March
15, 2010. Among the people in the car were: Vasilisa Savateeva, an underage Russian citizen, born
1994; Stefaniya Ruschikova, an underage German citizen, born 1994; Kseniya Zakharova, an underage
Russian citizen, born 1993; Olesa Moskalets, a Russian citizen, born 1992, and Veronika Danilina, a
Russian citizen, born 1991. All of this was entered into the record of the investigation. In addition,
information was obtained from the video surveillance camera at the hotel and it was established that
the girls were also not registered at the hotel itself. He was asked about this, and he answered as
follows:
"I brought 2 or 3 girls, models into Turkey, that's true. Girls under 18 can come from Russia only
with their parents' permission. One of the girls I brought had moles on her face that weren't visible in
the photographs and she had dyed her hair, which again, was not how she looked in the photo. So she
was different from what Tevfik Arif, Gyundyuz Akdeniz, and Eldar had seen in the photograph. So,
for that reason the girl was sent back that same day. This might have been Olesa Moskalets. I brought
in girls by the names of Kseniya Zakharova and Vasilisa Savateeva."
48
While listening to the recordings of the telephone conversations about the fact that between June 4-10
in Bod.rum, the Savarona yacht was anchored near the Riksos Premium hotel and Tevfik Arif and his
businessmen planned, through Gyundyuz Akdeniz, to spend time aboard the yacht and regarding this
he answered as follows:
"About a month and a half or two months ago, at Gyundyuz Akdeniz's request, I sent models to
Bodrum for Tevfik Arif. I sent the girls to Bodrum to the Riksos Premium hotel. At least, that's what
they told me. Gyundyuz Akdeniz is Tevfik Arif' s man. Like I already said, he was the one I was
typically in contact with. I don't know what firm usually pays all the money. They money goes to my
hard currency account at the Garanti Bank's branch in Serik. Sometimes Gyundyuz will send me
money directly. But more often the money is sent to my account from the firm."
During the interrogation about the fact that on Sept. 28, 2010, a search was conducted on the Savarona,
which resulted in the discovery of a large number of foreign women, it was mentioned that even before
the start of the operation on the Savarona, foreign women were supplied by Igor and Erkan Akdeniz.
Nine women were discovered during the operation, a large quantity of condoms and other tools of
intimacy. He was asked, "did you personally bring in women?" to which he answered as follows:
"I didn't send any models on that trip. I spoke to Gyundyuz Akdeniz on that subject once. I call him
my uncle. I told him, 'Uncle, why don't you come to me to ask about the girls?' He told me that Igor
brought in all the girls. And then I told him during that conversation that if we brought them in, we
would earn money off of it."
To the question from whom and in what amounts did he himself and Gyundyuz Akdeniz receive
money for choosing the girls, he answered as follows:
The recordings from the listening device, the recordings from the surveillance cameras, and the bank
statements were entered into the record, on the basis of which it was established that he received
$2,500 from Tevfik Arif for each woman that was brought in. From this amount he paid $600 to the
agency and the girls got $600 a day. After deducting the expenses for air travel and transportation,
each person got $1,000 and it was shown that this money was subsequently divided between Erkan
Akdeniz, Musa Chelik, and Eldar Baygouev. In addition, Khyuliya Erdogan negotiated about the price
for the girls and she more than once, hiding behind the word "models," organized trips for the girls for
the purpose of prostitution. It was also established that Ebu Bekir Syddk Tekin and Veisi A vdzhi
repeatedly ordered prostitutes and contacted Musa Chelik about this. In addition, Tevfik Arif ordered
all the women from the start and earlier.
49
In his testimony, he said that he chose women through a modeling agency and that he also received
photographs of girls on his own, by looking for girls on the website www.mod-optimal.com, He
constantly updated this site, sending the photographs of the girls who appeared there to his clients. He
confirmed the girls that they liked, and in this way, the suspect, although he called them models, was
actually searching for prostitutes and ordering them.
Musa Chelik, who took part in the criminal gang's activity, ordered girls for the purpose of prostitution
for clients from Antalya, as well as for clients from Europe and America. It was established that he
exchanged text messages with a girl by the name of Olga at the phone number 0531 681 38 37 on Feb.
20, 2010 at 6:32 pm. The text messages read as follows: "my address: [email protected] For
Europe we will pay 600 euros a day, they will be in France from 22 to 17 and they'll give you $500 for
the help." And this is Olga's answer to this text message: "OK, I understand. I'll send a couple of
beautiful brunettes. How do you send money - through Western Union?" Musa Chelik texted an
answer to this, "It's not essential whether they're brunette or blonde. The main thing is that they're
beautiful. I'll send money through Western Union, but to do that I need your name and surname."
Olga texted an answer, "My name is OLGA MAZUR. I'll try to find girls as fast as possible. Call me
tomorrow." That same day, Feb. 20, 2010, at 2:06 am, Musa Chelik sent her the following text: "It's
nice to meet you, Olga. My name is Musa and I represent the Bei Ti agency. I send girls not only to
Europe, but to London, America, and Antalya. But to Antalya all the time." Olga answered him, "And
are all of the models for sex or not? I need to know because most of them won't go for sex." To
which Musa Chelik answered, "Olga, the client is asking that there be sex." The parties negotiated
these terms, but Olga clarified that the prices would be higher in this case and Musa Chelik agreed to
that. In this way it was established that Musa Chelik got in touch with Elena, Olga, Olesa, Anna and
many other people with whom he negotiated about prostitutes.
It was determined as part of the investigation that he solicited the services of prostitutes, although he
claimed that he himself only acted as an intermediary in this matter.
She does not agree with the charges brought against her, but she was given the data which includes
tapping her conversations. It turned out that she first of all dealt with organization of prostitution in
Antal ya, then, upon the request of Gunduz Akdeniz and after a meeting with Musa Chelik, she
arranged with them that she would traffic women to Turkey from abroad.
It turned out that in the testimony of the detained ones - Mustafa Atesh, Polat Ozturk, Sevgi Uyanyk,
Songul Kuru - it was Hulia Erdogan, by the nickname of Buse, who provided prostitutes. Sevgi
Uyanyk and Songul Kuru served many times as intermediaries in this sector of Antalya.
Hulia Erdogan played one of the leading roles in the organization of such activities, bringing girls
under the cover of participation in animation or as dancers, though in reality they arranged about using
them as prostitutes.
50
Here is what Hulia Erdogan replied to the question whether Mustafa Atesh was going to order a girl as
a prostitute and received Hulia's telephone from the girl called Natalya. The explanations follow:
"I spoke on the phone with this girl. She said her name was Buse. I told her I had got her number from
Natalya. First we said we needed a dancer. She replied that she had a dancer and asked us to give her a
permanent number for connection. I gave her a permanent phone number in the hotel. The woman
whom I know as Buse, and who you call Hulia Erdogan, contacted me by this phone. She then told me
she had dancers. Any girls at your choice and to your taste. If you wish, you can order them for belly
dancing or sexual purposes for a night. I agreed and told her that I needed three girls for my friends.
We discussed the price. The woman nicknamed Buse told me: "on the phone, we call these girls
"dancers", remember this and call them so from now on". So she wanted us to say "a short program" if
we order a girl for a short time and "a long program" if we order girls for the whole night". Thus it was
discovered that Hulia Erdogan provided prostitutes, calling them dancers for a cover.
He was reminded of the conversations in the course of which he found out the height, age and other
characteristics of the girls. He refused to answer such questions. He only said that the girls he did not
like were really sent back. He admitted sending photos of girls, said that he did not know why a
contract conclusion was mentioned in relation to 16-19-year-old girls, he just confirmed that the word
"contract" did not mean any "agreement" with women while talking about girls. He pleads not guilty.
In the course of consideration of the received tapping and video recordings, the testimony, given by the
suspects and witnesses, was also taken into account. It was discovered that Musa Chelik and Erkan
Akdeniz ordered women through Eldar Bayogluev via a model agency upon the instructions ofTevfik
Arif, and after selling women as prostitutes each participant got his share for each woman. In the
period between 15 and 20.03.2010, he took part in the transfer of minor girls who then arrived to the
airport of Antalya. The cameras recorded how the girls were brought to Rixos Premium hotel, and the
girls' passports were taken away. Eldar Bayogluev,just like the other suspects, was aware of minor
girls' arriving and conducted the negotiations related to this subject.
51
FROM THE TESTIMONY, GIVEN BY THE SUSPECT EKATERINA MAISURADZE, it became
clear that he pleaded not guilty.
Thanks to the recordings of the bug it was discovered that the income from prostitution, the price of
which was agreed upon in advance, was distributed among three persons - Gunduz Akdeniz, Musa
Chelik and Erkan Akdeniz, and a share was also given to Eldar Bayogluev.
For example, on 30.04.2010 negotiations took place between Gunduz Akdeniz and Musa Chelik,
which were recorded in the minutes at number 403. They discussed how they are going to distribute
the profit in the amount of 3,000 dollars, received from the criminal activity.
Gunduz was asked how the shares of Musa and Erkan would be obtained and how the small sum of the
agency would be sent; it was desirable to send the money by transfer from one account to another.
On 14.06.2010, the suspects held negotiations about the arrangement in the period between 06.06.2010
and 10.06.2010, when the foreign women arrived on board the yacht "Savarona". And after they
received their fee from Tevfik Arif, Eldar, Musa Chelik and Gunduz Akdeniz held negotiations on
how to distribute the income received. He told Musa Chelik about Gunduz Akdeniz bringing the girls:
"Look, now I will send you 10,000, 5,000 of this sum is mine". Musa Chelik agreed. Gunduz Akdeniz
continued the conversation: "also you will add what you owe ... then go to the bank and send it to my
account". Musa Chelik replied: "Right, Uncle". He was supposed to transfer 5,000 Iiras to his account
for the two previous unpaid girls, set aside the accompanying expenses, his share, and the rest had to
be sent to his account with Ziraat bank.
In the course of negotiations, held on 14.06.2010 between Eldar Bayogluev and Musa Chelik, Eldar
confirmed that he had transferred the money to Musa's account, and on the same day, 14.06.2010 at
18:05, a conversation was held, captured by the bug and recorded in the minutes at number 489. They
said that the money for the girls, arriving from Russia, had to be transferred to a girl called Svetlana.
Svetlana demanded 600 dollars for each person, Musa offered 500, and she agreed; then they discussed
the distribution of income for the girls who arrived from Russia.
In the course of tapping the conversations, held on 15.06.2010 between Musa Chelik and Gunduz
Akdeniz and recorded in the minutes at number 492, it was discovered in what manner they
arranged to share the profit between themselves:
Musa Chelik: Let's settle the accounts, so that I could transfer what I owe you
52
Musa Chelik: Then 5 thousand dollars in addition
Musa Chelik: The 5 thousand dollars - you told me to count how much you should get
Gunduz Akdeniz: Skip it, don't count it, now make calculations on the other part
Gunduz Akdeniz: And what should I count there? This is done, skip it, it comes separately
Gunduz Akdeniz: Now you're talking about the second 5 thousand, right?
Musa Chelik: No, this is in addition, I'm not asking about this, I don't need to ask about this
Gunduz Akdeniz: Right, don't ask about it, I'm talking about the transferred sum for the two
Musa Chelik: That's what I'm talking about, I'm not asking about it
53
Musa Chelik: Yes, we have not made any calculations on expenses for a month
Musa Chelik: Yes, that's it, and now we will spend 100 dollars to transfer the sum to Russia
Gunduz Akdeniz: Divided by three, equals ... Yes, exactly so, 3400 divided by three, 1133, or 1130 per
each person.
54
Gunduz Akdeniz: Now I'll give you an account number
Gunduz Akdeniz: Aha, in Serik ... Wait, I'll ask my friend from a bank to call you, you will be able to
transfer to my account from there
Gunduz Akdeniz: Now wait a minute, wait, what was there - 3400 divided by 3, we get 1130
As a result of these negotiations it became clear that he found women and gave orders to transfer
money to his account. An employee called Nilgun works in Ziraat Bank, Bogazici branch; she called
Musa Chelik and asked him whether he was going to send 7260 dollars to Mr. Gunduz. The woman
asked to send the money to Gunduz's account number 9632353 - 5003, and then she confirmed that
the money was charged to the account.
55
Upon Gunduz Akdeniz's demand, the money was divided into three parts - for himself, Musa Chelik
and Erkan Akdeniz. At that, Gunduz Akdeniz ordered to pay Eldar Bayogluev as well and it was
established that the money to Eldar Bayogluev's account was sent from Erkan Akdeniz.
On 20.06.2010 at 15:26, a conversation took place between Eldar Bayogluev and Musa Chelik,
and its record is registered in the minutes at number 496:
Eldar: Yes
Musa Chelik: He told me to give some to Eldar, and I said - yes, we will pay him
Musa Chelik: Yes, sure, you also have the right to that, you deal a lot with it, just like us
Musa Chelik: Yes, I lay no claim to that, the one who works and has the right should get his share
Eldar: Exactly so
Eldar: Yes
Eldar: Mr. Gunduz knows about it, he decides everything for himself
Thus it became clear from the received conversation transcripts how the income was distributed among
the criminal group members, and it was also established that it was the subject of many-hour
negotiations.
On 17/09/20 I 0, at 15 :42 a conversation took place between Erkan Akdeniz and Gunduz Akdeniz, and
the received tapping data was recorded in the minutes at number 176. This conversation was related to
the upcoming party on board the Savarona at the end of September. Erkan Akdeniz wondered about
the state of affairs, and Gunduz Akdeniz said: "there is still nothing about these 25". Erkan Akdeniz:
"So Uncle has found them". Gunduz Akdeniz: "There were 22 girls coming, so Igor will bring all of
56
them". Erkan Akdeniz: "Do you mean our Ibo?" Then Erkan asked Gunduz Akdeniz: "Will you be
there?" Gunduz replied: "Yes, we will also go there, sure, how shall I know, I didn't understand
myself, our people did not say anything, they did not say we had to prepare something". Then they
talked about a big number of girls' photos sent by e-mail.
Gunduz Akdeniz: Yes, imagine, 22 persons are coming, it's such a sum of money!
Gunduz Akdeniz: Yes, I would get from you, we did not say anything to this one
Erkan Akdeniz: I prepared everything, you saw yourself how much we did. They sent 15-fold.
Then it became clear from the conversation that Erkan Akdeniz announced the very high price paid for
the girls that Igor brings. He brought them at 5000-6000 dollars and they were going to bring women
at a lower price through Eka (Ekaterina Maisuradze) as a new agency. Eldar Bayogluev had to inform
them about it, as well as about the distribution of money between the three people: "we will surely
divide among the three" - was said in the course of negotiations, and so it proves Eldar' s desire to be
related to this money.
The suspect Erkan Akdeniz really brought 3 girls for the party on the yacht "Savarona", planned to last
from September, 25 till October 03, 2010.
On 24.09.2010 at 19:43 we traced an SMS message, recorded in the minutes at number 3, which
was on the phone number 0533 815 00 66, belonging to Erkan Akdeniz, and it read as follows:
CONTENTS OF THE SMS MESSAGE: "Pertseva Albina, Batyaykina Lyudmila, Korovina Ekaterina.
I couldn't contact Eldar". The suspect replied the following to this SMS: "I ordered these women
through a VIP model agency, Eldar bought tickets for them".
A - MAIN INVESTIGATION
As a result of evaluation of messages and conversations, it was established that through the agency of
the persons who organized human trafficking, women were brought from Russia and Ukraine for
prostitution, trafficking or direct engagement in these activities on the territory of our country. Besides,
57
this gang made it possible to use minor female citizens from other countries under the pretext of hiring
them as models, but in reality the girls were used as prostitutes. These people, being involved in the
criminal group, arranged reservation, arrival of girls to the country, including arrangement of all the
accompanying expenses. They used their cars to organize the meeting and transfer of girls to the hotel
or other appointed places. Thus, the girls were used as prostitutes, and it was arranged by the crime
group members.
Acting as swindlers or taking advantage of desperate situation of people, they bought people and
located them in temporary accommodations, moved from one place to another, made to participate in
prostitution (by sending to a particular country), engaged in human trafficking and conducted criminal
activities.
The members of this organization bought girls directly from abroad or via agents, brought the girls to
Turkey and accommodated them there, moved them from place to place inside the country; many of
them were less than 18 years old, and, according to the amendments introduced to the Criminal Code
of the Republic of Turkey, Article 5560, Paragraph 80, such actions are seen as human trafficking (or
as charges of rendering intermediary services in trafficking). They used the minor girls that arrived
from abroad, selling them to different men as prostitutes. In this connection, the defendants face the
charges of organization and management of a criminal gang, whose activities included human
trafficking and abetment of prostitution.
It was established on the basis oftapping records and video records that the crime group ordered
women from Russia and Ukraine as models through model or escort services agencies. Upon the
instructions of Tevfik Arif, certain girls were approved, connection was established with them through
model agencies, and their photos were received via Internet. After Erkan Akdeniz, Musa Chelik and
Eldar Bayogluev selected the names of the girls, they arranged their arrival; information was passed
among them in accordance with hierarchy, Gunduz gave Eldar certain instructions on buying all the
plane tickets - arrivals and departures. Upon the instructions of Gunduz Akdeniz, the girls, arriving to
Turkey, were met at the airport by Kemal Tokay. Erkan Akdeniz was responsible for finding and
bringing women from Russia to the country, and appointed Ekaterina Maisuradze for this purpose as
she had a good command of English and spoke Russian. Hulia Erdogan worked jointly with the
criminal group, helped them and contributed to the organization of criminal activities: she invited girls
to Turkey to work as animators, choosing predominantly pretty girls with a model appearance, who
knew the language. and she selected mostly the girls to the criminal group leader's liking. The girls,
58
who were not used by the customers for sexual purposes, were sent back right from the airport, and all
that is proved by reservations made, tickets bought and tapping and video records.
In the course of listening to the records we established the identity of Tevfik Arif (boss) and his
assistant Gunduz Akdeniz (Uncle).
As a result of listening it was established that the group arranged for the girls to be transported from
Russia to Turkey for their further use as prostitutes; they were found through model agencies or escort
services agencies; there were both minors and girls of age, their services were sold in different
countries by orders of certain customers. All these actions were performed considering interests and
material benefits for the group members.
In accordance with the Criminal Code of the Republic of Turkey, the case under consideration was
identified by clause 80/1 as "intimidation and involvement in prostitution by threatening and using
force, using population for dirty purposes, lying, taking advantage of people in hard or desperate
circumstances, buying people, bringing people from other countries for these purposes or taking
people away from the country, moving people from one place to another for these purposes, pushing
third persons to participate in such activities".
However,
"In accordance with Paragraph 80 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Turkey, when buying minor
girls to use as prostitutes is involved, Paragraph 80/2 takes effect, even if there are no intermediary
services, these activities are illegal. In this case, the suspects are classified under the article of
trafficking or involvement in trafficking".
From the standpoint of our Criminal Code or the international criminal laws, even if there is an
agreement in respect of the minors' work, here we see trafficking and pushing prostitution; according
to our laws, the persons over 18, who decide to engage in prostitution of their own free will, do not
bear criminal responsibility, nor do the persons who pay for sexual services, but selling women to third
persons, intermediary services in prostitution, arrangement of places for prostitution and management
of people to involve them in prostitution are criminal offences and are regulated by Paragraph 227 /2 of
the Criminal Code of Turkey.
59
Upon consideration of all the records of telephone conversations tapped, registered in the minutes,
including records on CDs and surveillance cameras records, it became apparent that at the end of
March 2010, minor girls were brought to Turkey to be involved in prostitution.
After confirmation was received that Tevfik Arif ordered women from Russia and they came to
Antalya, surveillance camera record showed that on 15.03.2010 at 19.23, women arrived in Antalya
airport at the request of Musa Chelik; they were met by Kemal Tokay and brought to Rixos Premium
hotel in Belek.
So it was proved that Kemal Tokay met foreign women at the airport, and their car was stopped by
road guards near Belek on 15.03.2010 at 20.00 to establish identities. The persons in the car included:
a minor Russian citizen V asilisa Savateeva, born in 1994, a minor German citizen Stefania
Ruschikova, born in 1994, a minor Russian citizen Kseniya Zakharova, born in 1993, a Russian citizen
Olesya Moskalets, born in 1992, a Russian citizen Veronika Danilina, born in 1991. All these facts
were recorded in the investigative record; besides, information was received from the surveillance
camera in the hotel, and it was proved that the girls were not registered in the hotel. The protocols of
their communication records were compared, and information about guests of the hotel, where the girls
stayed, was obtained, to establish the fact of offence and confirm the accusations that the minor foreign
citizens were going to stay at the hotel with the purpose of having sex. It was established that despite
the fact that the hotel outdoor surveillance cameras recorded the moment when the girls entered Rixos
Premium hotel in Belek, there was no information about the arrival of the girls in the list of registered
hotel guests received on 16.03.2010. After the operation was executed, the list of guests, staying from
15.03.2010 to 21.03.2010, was requested at the hotel on 30.10.2010. Checking showed that minor
girls were brought to the country to be involved in prostitution as part of criminal activities, and there
was no information about them in the registration log of the hotel where they stayed. In order to keep
the girls' age secret, the group members disguised their stay by registering them under their own name.
They sold the girls to rich customers. The list of arrivals to/departures from the hotel denounces the
suspects as it is mentioned there that Gunduz Akdeniz executed 8 arrivals to/departures from the hotel
during three days (March 15, 16 and 17, 2010), and 6 arrivals happened on one and the same day
(20.03.2010), while the other 2 departures were made on 21.03.2010.
In the period from 15 till 21.03 .20 l 0, the suspect Gunduz Akdeniz was registered in hotel rooms 1506,
1507, 1508, 1511, 1513, 1518, 1525, 1455.Atthesametime,GunduzAkdenizhimselfremainedin
room 1513 and the girls were in the other rooms, though this fact was not registered.
Tevfik Arif stayed in room 1501 from 15.03.2010 to 20.03.2010, Eldar Bayogluev lived in room 1505
from 15.03.2010 to 20.03.2010.
60
The girls' presence and stay at the hotel were fixed by surveillance cameras, and Tevfik Arif and his
friends provided their accommodation in special villas (Paris or Prianus) from 16.03 .20 IO to
17.03.2010. Kamel Tokay brought the girls from the airport to the hotel by order of Gunduz Akdeniz,
and the girls' presence within the hotel territory was recorded by the cameras in the sporting salons
where they did sports, and they were also seen in other places of the hotel.
Before the girls' arrival there was a conversation between Gunduz Akdeniz and Musa Chelik, which
took place on 04.03.2010. Musa Chelik: "I place Vasilisa, it's those that are 15". In the course of the
negotiations between them on 05.03.2010, Musa Chelik told Gunduz: "Uncle, there is a 17-year-old
Viktoria, will she do?"
After listening to the record of a telephone conversation, which took place on 11.03.2010 and was
recorded in the minutes at number 111, it was proved that Gunduz Akdeniz told Musa Chelik: "Does
Vasilisa arrive on 151h or 16th?" Musa replied that she would arrive on the 15th and added that they
found three other girls, their names are Olesya, Ksyusha and Vika. On 15.03.2010, after the girls
arrived to the airport, Kemal Tokay took Musa Chelik's girls from the airport. On the same day, at
19.23, Kemal Tokay called Musa Chelik and asked him whether he wanted to talk to Vasilisa. Among
the girls, who Kemal Tokay met at the airport, were: a Russian citizen Vasilisa Savateeva, born in
1994, a Russian citizen Kseniya Zakharova, born in 1993, a German citizen Stephaniya Ruschikova,
born in 1994. All the girls were minors. The other minor girls arrived to the hotel on the 16th and 17th.
The data of tapping and video camera surveillance records, as well as witnesses' testimonies prove that
Tevfik Arif, Gunduz Akdeniz, Erkan Akdeniz, Musa Chelik and Eldar Bayoguev are involved in
engagement of minor girls in prostitution by brining them to Turkey, so they were all directly involved
in human trafficking.
It becomes apparent after analyzing the tapping records, video camera surveillance data, testimonies of
the accused and the witnesses and material evidence in the case, that Musa Chelik and Erkan Akdeniz
brought women from Russia under the guise of fashion models on behalf of the model agency, making
contacts with intermediary model agencies and individuals that carry out their activity in the sphere of
prostitution, sending photos of the selected girls by e-mail. Besides, Musa Chelik created a website
www. mod.optimal.gmail. where photos were published, and he directed his customers here to choose
the girls to their liking for further sale of sexual services.
61
Musa Chelik and Erkan Akdeniz acted strictly under Gunduz Akdeniz's instructions, especially those
concerning the girls for Tevfik Arif; all the instructions were received from Gunduz Akdeniz. Besides,
these individuals said that they sold the girls to other clients as well, and distributed the received profit
among them. It was also established that Musa Chelik and a woman nicknamed Busa (Hulia Erdogan)
met, upon Gundus Akdeniz's request, to organize the activities related to prostitution in Antalya, and
jointly arranged the girls' arrival from abroad.
Eldar Bayogluev was responsible for buying plane tickets for the girls, dealt with their transfer and
location, sent photos to Tevfik Arif.
In the criminal group, Tevfik Arif was called "Boss", his assistant Gunduz Akdeniz had a nickname
"Uncle", Eldar Bayogluev helped to establish contacts, and in his tum he gave instructions in the
hierarchic order to Erkan Akdeniz, Musa Chelik and other persons.
Besides the instructions, received from Tevfik Arif, these people followed Gunduz Akdeniz's orders
and shared the profit received upon Gunduz's instructions.
Musa Chelik's testimony shows that all the persons, who participated in women's delivery to Turkey,
had to receive an award, "any mediators must receive his profit", and this statement adds to all the
evidence of their involvement, including the data from bank accounts where the relevant cash receipts
were charged.
It becomes apparent after analyzing the tapping and video camera surveillance records, the testimony
of the accused and the witnesses and material evidence in the case, that the members of the criminal
group delivered women to Turkey for prostitution, and Gunduz Akdeniz, Erkan Akdeniz, Musa
Chelik, Eldar Bayogluev, Hulia Erdogan, and Ekaterina Maisuradze played an active role in it, while
they all say that the charges are nothing more than slander.
In the same way as Ebu Bekir Syddyk Tekin and Veysi Avgy ordered prostitutes through Musa Chelik
for money, Musa Chelik organized the presence of prostitutes on behalf ofFesikh Tamindge and sold
their services. Thus, Ebu Bekir Syddyk Tekin and Veysi Avgy are also mediators in the case of
prostitution.
Evaluation of actions conducted by Tevfik Arif with regards to the matter on the placement of
an order for women to be used as prostitutes, as well as interest in a business of mediation.
With the joint evaluation of all the allegations, arguments and evidence under the given case, it has
become clear that Tevfik Arif took part in the classic organization of prostitution, without earning
profit from these affairs. On the contrary, he paid his money to women, agencies and intermediaries so
62
all of them would supply him with prostitutes. The amounts were paid to all in full and within the
agreed limits, also all extraordinary expenses related to the ticket and transfer of these women, were
also covered. He in fact, sustained significant losses in this affair.
Well then, where is the interest of Tevfik Arif in this matter, why was be arrested as a suspect in
this case?
«During the meetings Tevfik Arif usually calls me on my cell phone, he can inform me that he might
be arriving on the 51\ for example. I prepare a hotel for him. Organize seats in restaurants. If he would
ever express a desire to rent a yacht, I would do that also. In addition, he comes here to meet
businessmen to discuss possible investments. They come accompanied by guests and fashion models.
Since they do not know their way around Turkey, I help them out with their transfer. Sometimes Mr
Tevfik would be visited by his female model friends, and sometimes he would also ask us to organize
a meeting with such girls. We also invite them. I conduct all the accompanying organization for their
flights and transfer. This was also sometimes engaged by Eldar Baiyogliev. I was engaged only in the
transfer». He went on to state the following:
«I would make calls to Musa Chelik on issues regarding the modeling agency. By engaging his
connections, Musa Chelik would provide fashion models from Russia. If I would not be able to reach
Musa, I would call Erkan Akdeniz, so that he would bring in the models. He then would make a call to
the modeling agency, receive photos of the girls and send them over to me. I would examine them.
Depending on the requests and the circumstances of a given day, I would select women by their photos
and inform them. In tum, they contact their agencies. After this all the matters are dealt with by Eldar
Baiyogliev. All the matters relating to the tickets and booking are resolved by Eldar. When the girls
would arrive to Antal ya I would call Kernal Tokai and inform him of this. I ask him to get them over to
the hotel. They are mainly taken to the Rixos Premium hotel. If the matter takes place in Bodrum,
Rixos has its own car hire there. There is a man there by the name of Semikh, I contact him. We tell
him the information on the arriving flight. We pick up the guests or the girls from the airport and take
them to the hotel».
The following response was received to the inquiry as with regards to the purpose of the transportation
of minor and fully aged girls, engaged by Gunduz Akdeniz, as under the instructions from Tevfik Arif,
to Turkey and why some of them were sent back, after they were rejected due to their looks:
«We would invite these girls for escort during lunches, dinners and recreational trips. Often Mr. Tevfik
and his friends would appear as accompanied by women. Mr. Tevfik would convey regular meetings
63
with businessmen, in order to discuss investments. They would bring beautiful women and sit them
around a table, so that the latter would ornament the table like flowers. His personal girls would
usually sit right next to him.
I do not often show Tevfik Arif the photos of the girls. I choose them myself. If the girls are not
beautiful enough for us, we send them back. We always explained the cases of sending the girls back
as dissatisfaction with their looks. Some girls would even say that they are not comfortable with the
conditions and that they are going back».
Extract from the statement, received from a secret witness nicknamed «Middle East»:
The letter of accusation also contains a statement of a secret witness nicknamed «Middle East», who is
closely acquainted with Tevfil Arif and the latter's entourage, he knew Tevfik as the owner of the
Labada hotel, he was close to him during Tevfik's cooperation with the hotels Labada, Tekirova Rixos,
Belek Rixos and Premium Rixos, and this is what he had to say: «Tevfik Arif, a man that I know very
well, is not someone that will provide and sell women under the disguise of fashion models. He is one
of those men that can simply have fun with women, accompanied by his friends. He would always
personally pay the women, the women that he personally chooses. I know that he would transport the
women either to my location or to a location defined by him».
The secret witness had the following to say in a reply to the inquiry whether the girls, arriving for the
purpose of prostitution, were registered in the hotel's registration book:
«I learned from the hotel employees, and from the top management, that the arriving girls were not
registered in the hotel, and that they were not granted the rooms, in which they resided, and that these
rooms were registered to the assistant driver of Gunduz Akdeniz, and that the copies of passports of
these girls were not received by the hotel and that the girls were not at all recorded in the list of guests,
in addition I was also able to personally verify these non-registrations. The girls, that gradually arrived
in Turkey, were placed in the hotels located in different regions. I would receive all this information
form the girls themselves ... ».
The following is also an extract from the statement by the secret witness «Middle East»:
«Fettakh Tamidzhe constructs the Rixos chain hotels, mainly, based on the funding from Russia.
Fettakh Tamidzhe became the first to make investment into Rixos and meet other investors, herewith
his source was always Tevfik Arif. I know that Tevfik Arif and Fettakh Tamidzhe had a disagreement
and that their partnership ended by the fact that they had to part».
64
During the investigation of all this information, it becomes clear that Tevfik Arif would place orders
for prostitutes, for himself and his friends, and that neither him nor his friends gained no profit form
this, but he had a significant indirect interest in this matter.
It is possible to surely state, that the presence of prostitutes on the ship, for own and friends'
entertainment, was an indirect aim, in actual fact his interest in deriving a gain from this situation was
much greater. In this regard it should be considered that in actual fact, Tevfik Arif brought a certain
amount of money abroad, the origins of which he would not be able to justify and that he had to spend
that money in Turkey; he held some negotiations and invited foreign businessmen to visit Turkey, he
offered them to spend some time with young and beautiful fashion models; under the presence of
recreation involving entertainment and travel, he in fact held negotiations with these businessmen and
received a part of the made investments, this was the true interest ofTevfik Arif during the meeting on
Savarona.
This is the cause ofTevfik Arif's accusations, related to the order of women with their consequent role
as the prostitutes.
Tevfik Arif was not accused because he order this service for himself, but rather because he ordered
this service for others (for his friends and businessmen), promoting the trade of services provided by
foreign women.
As a conclusion of the consideration of audio interception records, the data received from surveillance
cameras, hotel's registration information, the statements by the suspects and witnesses, bank
documents, confirming the reception of funds, photos of the selected women and catalogues, it became
possible to assert, that the members of the criminal group were engaged in the involvement of women
in prostitution, would push them towards such actions, would purchase minor women with the purpose
of their sexual services, thus engaging in human trafficking. Having examined all the presented
information,
We request for a court proceedings regarding the suspects, we asked that they are accused as under the
abovementioned articles, each one individually for the crimes committed, also on behalf of the public
we ask to render a ruling on the confiscation of all the property of the accused. 12/11/2010
