number 0212 6362780, following has been claimed: “Arabaci Currency Exchange (Arabacı
Döviz) and Sapan Currency Exchange (Sapan Döviz) offices have been laundering money
smuggled from Iran and Northern Iraq, that these individuals have ties with the terrorist and drug
mafias, however the master of all these individuals and the one who provides all the contacts are
individuals named Riza SARRAF and Abdullah HAPPANI who make it seem like they’re
exporting gold to Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq for many years through such companies as Royal

for drug and smuggling mobs, that Durak Currency Exchange, Atlas Currency Exchange, and
Malan Currency Exchange have been used for these purposes, that Riza SARRAF uses phone
numbers 0532-2026666 and 0533-3500000 and that Abdullah HAPPANI uses the phone number
0530-3107445 for this purpose, that the individual named Riza Sarraf is the husband of singer
Ebru GUNDES, that it was disclosed in the news that he bought his wife a yacht, flat, and diamond
costing millions of Dollars, that the source of this money was drugs and smuggling, that they have
organized all the currency exchange (offices). As an individual who loves his/her country and

was apprehended with 150 million Dollars of money in Russia and that this money belonged to
Riza SARRAF, that Riza SARRAF used Turgut HAPPANI as a courier. If the news in the
newspapers were to be investigated, it could easily be seen how this man was apprehended in
Russia; in fact, there were pictures of Turgut HAPPANI with bales of money. Riza SARRAF would
