The charges leveled against the Polat couple include four distinct offenses: "Establishing and Managing a Criminal Organization," "Membership in a Criminal Organization," "Money Laundering from Criminal Activities," and "Violation of Tax Procedure Law."

In recent times, Dilan Polat and Engin Polat, who have frequently faced allegations of tax evasion and money laundering, had all their assets seized.

It has come to light that the Terrorism and Organized Crime Investigation Bureau of the Istanbul Anatolian Chief Prosecutor's Office is conducting an investigation into the Polat couple and their families.

A total of four separate charges, including "Establishing and Managing a Criminal Organization," "Membership in a Criminal Organization," "Money Laundering from Criminal Activities," and "Violation of Tax Procedure Law," have been initiated against the Polat couple.

The investigation file contains a total of 13 suspects. The Anatolian Chief Prosecutor's Office is currently investigating Dilan Polat, her spouse Engin Polat, Engin Polat's father, Sezgin Polat, his brother Alper Kürşat Polat, grandmother Zehra Yılmaz, his uncle's wife Nilgül Yılmaz, Dilan Polat's siblings Can Doğu and Sinem Sıla Doğu, among others.

Within the scope of the investigation, concrete evidence regarding the suspects' commission of crimes and their assets derived from these offenses has been uncovered. Consequently, a request has been made to seize all the assets related to the suspects, including 21 companies in sectors such as cosmetics, jewelry, construction, as well as land, sea, and air transportations, bank accounts, properties, rights and receivables, valuable documents, company partnership shares, safe deposit boxes, cryptocurrency accounts, and all other asset values.

The Criminal Peace Judgeship accepted this request and seized all the assets of the suspects. Additionally, travel bans have been imposed on the suspects.

Among the companies included in the investigation file are Dilan Polat Beauty and Cosmetic Services, Dilan Polat Aesthetic Health Services, Milda Real Estate Automotive Industry, Dipomed Medical Cosmetics, Dilan Jewelry, Milan Polat Construction Tourism, Sıla Doğu Beauty Cosmetics, Rise And Shine Cosmetics, Nez Demir Beauty Center, Engin Polat's sole proprietorship, and Engin Polat Aluminum.

In the MASAK (Financial Crimes Investigation Board) report entered into the investigation file, it is assessed that Dilan Polat used counterfeit documents to reduce her corporate income, which she earned through online sales. Moreover, there is an evaluation suggesting that Dilan Polat's company, "Rise and Shine Cosmetics," is a producer of counterfeit documents. In this context, it was determined that a total of 225,743,000 Turkish lira worth of goods purchased from three counterfeit document-producing suppliers was not genuine.
