Luxury yachts linked to detained Turkish executive located in Rhodes
Several luxury yachts reportedly linked to Muhammet Yariz, the detained president of the Turkish company Pusula Portföy, have been identified at the port of Rhodes in Greece. Yariz is currently under investigation in Turkey regarding a significant financial fraud case involving investment funds. Reports from Turkish journalists, including Ismail Saymaz, suggest that these vessels were moved to Greece while legal proceedings were ongoing in Turkey, raising concerns about the potential removal of assets.
Specific vessels mentioned include a 34-meter Benetti Oasis, valued at approximately 14.5 million dollars, and a yacht named "Pusula." While sources vary on the exact identity and value of the boats, reports indicate that the "Pusula" was relocated from the D-Marin marina in Göcek to Rhodes by sailors from Istanbul. Allegations of illegal transport or the illicit movement of funds via these vessels remain unverified by Greek authorities. Investigations into the financial activities of Pusula Portföy continue in Turkey, and the presence of these assets in Greece remains a point of international scrutiny.
