  <p style="text-align: justify;">In the final opinion, it was requested that Faruk Fatih Özer be sentenced to imprisonment ranging from 12,142 years to 40,462 years for establishing an organization with the intention of committing a crime, fraud through the use of information systems as tools for banks or credit institutions, and money laundering of assets derived from fraud committed by traders or company executives and cooperative managers.</p> 
  <p style="text-align: justify;">Previously, Özer had been tried for various crimes, including fraud, and had received his first prison sentence in the case. The court had reduced Özer’s sentence. Özer had been sentenced to 7 months and 15 days of imprisonment for the crime of “smuggling” under the Tax Procedure Law, as he had not provided the requested documents to the Tax Audit Board regarding his company. The court had decided to defer the announcement of the verdict.</p> 
  <h2 style="text-align: justify;" id="arrested-on-april-23">Arrested on April 23</h2>

Following the extradition decision of the Dıraç Court of Appeal in Albania, Özer was brought back to the country on April 20 and was arrested by the duty judge at the Anatolian Justice Palace on April 23.</p> The post <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/record-prison-sentence-requested-for-founder-of-cryptocurrency-exchange-thodex-faruk-fatih-ozer/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Record Prison Sentence Requested for Founder of Thodex, Faruk Fatih Özer</a> appeared first on <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">COINTURK NEWS.</a>
