Turkey’s insurance regulator rejects allegations and plans legal action
Turkey’s insurance regulator, SEDDK, has rejected allegations made in online posts about the agency.
It called the claims baseless and said they had no legal or factual support.
SEDDK says it detected losses at companies by the end of September and brought them under review.
The agency says it reported its findings to relevant institutions and judicial authorities in less than a week.
It also says it has kept financial firms involved in problems in capital markets from entering insurance, to prevent those problems spreading to the sector.
The agency says it will take legal action against people making unsupported accusations and is investigating who may be behind the posts.
It says it is examining whether the posts are linked to people affected by its market-discipline program or its efforts against claims-related gangs.
