ALLEGATIONS OF ILLEGAL EARNINGS WERE DEMOLISHED BY THE STATE’S OWN REPORTS

Reports have for years been published about Adnan Oktar and BAV (Science Research Foundation) members in press organs asking “where the money they make comes from.” In the course of BAV (Science Research Foundation) case, which has been going on since 2000, a detailed investigation was carried out into all the defendants, particularly Adnan Oktar, by the Financial Crimes Investigation Commission (MASAK), a body affiliated to the Finance Ministry. All the defendants’ workplaces, bank accounts and financial ledgers were examined one by one. The allegation of illegal earnings was demolished by THE STATE’S OWN OFFICIAL REPORTS IN THE FORM OF THE THREE SEPARATE OFFICIAL REPORTS ISSUED BY MASAK. (These are MASAK Report No. GKR.2000.22.173/MUT dated 27 July 2000; Report No. GKR.2000-22/11 dated 21 December, 2000, and report No. GKR.2001-22-173/MUT dated 16 July, 2001, below.) THERE IS NO ILLEGAL EARNINGS. Adnan Oktar and BAV (Science Research Foundation) members are people who fear Allah, respect the rights of orphans and who ENJOY LEGITIMATE EARNING ONLY. Although OFFICIAL REPORTS SUBMITTED TO THE COURT when BAV (Science Research Foundation) case had only just begun proved that these allegations were all false, they still continue to be aired, as part of the psychological warfare campaign, in newspapers, on the television and on web sites, with no evidence whatsoever to back them up. However, tens of thousands of people who read Adnan Oktar’s works with the greatest appreciation attach no credence to these allegations. Adnan Oktar carries out his activities to earn Allah’s approval and out of love for the nation and motherland, and he expects no financial reward from them. It will be appreciated that for someone to engage in such effective activities with no financial expectations is evidence that the claims in question are all false.

The first MASAK report, No. GKR.2000.22.173/ Müt-2, dated 27 July, 2000
