Allegations of Financial Transactions Between Tatar and Murdered Falyali

Bugun Cyprus has published documents indicating possible financial transactions between former Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar and the murdered businessman Halil Falyali. According to the information, there were allegations of illegal funding, with money being transferred from Falyali to Tatar for election campaigns, office rentals and organizational expenses. Additionally, it is alleged that money was sent to the Kanal T television station, which belonged to the Tatar family, and that Falyali used a 'car museum' to reduce his taxes, with Tatar's signature on the license approval. Tatar dismissed the claims as unfounded. The publication is based on testimony from Cemil Onal, a close associate of Falyali.
