Istanbul Prosecutors Say No New Financial Restrictions Were Issued
Istanbul's chief prosecutor's office said it had issued no new restrictions against people in a capital markets investigation.
It said reports of new limits arose because earlier decisions were sent to financial institutions after they asked to receive them.
The measures concern suspects' assets and were taken earlier in the investigation.
Information about people whose restrictions had been lifted was accidentally left out of the notices sent to those institutions.
The prosecutor's office said it sent a corrected notice after discovering the omission.
Restrictions remain for 109 suspects, except those whose measures were lifted.
Istanbul’s Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office said no new financial restriction decision had been issued as of October 13.
The office said reports of new restrictions arose because earlier decisions were sent to additional institutions.
It said information about people whose restrictions had been lifted had not initially reached those institutions by mistake.
The office said it issued a further notice after discovering the omission so the measures could be applied correctly.
Restrictions remain in place for 109 suspects who are not among those whose measures were lifted.
