Mustafa Aksu fund investigation and arrest

Overview

Mustafa Aksu, a former Turkish Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry and long-time AK Party official, reported a significant financial loss involving liquid funds. Aksu stated he moved stock market assets into a Tera liquid fund on September 10 but was unable to withdraw his capital. He expressed that his primary distress was not the loss of approximately 100 million TL, but rather “being deceived.” Aksu maintained that his wealth originated from his family, noting his father is a prominent industrialist.

Following these reports, Aksu was arrested as part of an investigation into the fund crisis. During testimony, he asserted that his investments were individual stock market transactions conducted without third-party direction. In addition to his arrest, authorities have seized all assets belonging to Aksu and his spouse.
