Famous Turkish businessman Sudi Okzan, known as the casino king, owner of the largest casinos in Bulgaria, reportedly laundered money through Turkish private bank Toprakbank.
Turkish newspaper Sabah alleged that Okzan had secret accounts in the bank. He transferred profits from gambling to Swiss banks.
Transfer operations were done by two of Toprakbank's officers, the paper said. It referred to a report by the united bank fund that said that Toprakbank had lost 14 315 000 Turkish liras from Okzan.
The same report claimed that in 1997, Ozkan transferred $60 million from his secret bank account in Toprakbank to Swiss bank Credit Suisse Lucern.
In 1998, when the Turkish government banned gambling, Okzan left the country and reportedly moved to the Caribbean.
He is alleged to have committed tax evasion. Okzan reportedly owned the largest casinos in Turkey until 1998. Afterwards he reportedly moved part of his business to Bulgaria.
