A sweeping financial investigation targeting Türkiye Sigorta has led to the detention of several senior figures. The deputy general manager, Gürol Sami Özer, was taken into custody and brought before a court for questioning. Alongside him, former general manager Taha Çakmak and Altınbaş Holding executive İnan Altınbaş were arrested. The probe, conducted by the Istanbul Public Prosecutor’s Office, is part of a broader fund‑related inquiry that also saw Ertan Aydın detained.

The investigation has rapidly expanded, reaching the upper tiers of the company’s hierarchy and reportedly encompassing a list of roughly ninety‑nine individuals. Early actions in the case included a decision to detain fifteen suspects, after which house arrest and travel bans were imposed on both Ertan Aydın and Gürol Sami Özer.

These developments signal a deepening scrutiny of Türkiye Sigorta’s financial practices and governance structures. The arrests underscore the authorities’ focus on senior management within the firm and its parent company, Altınbaş Holding.
