BYSTRONIC TURKEY’S SALES MANAGER AND REGIONAL SALES MANAGER ON TRIAL

Upon the criminal complaint presented by us to the public prosecutor on 15.07.2007 regarding the person named Bulent Kahraman who was in charge as our company’s Sales Manager between the dates of September 2004 and March 2007, the public prosecution office completed the necessary reviews and initiated the jurisdiction proceedings by preparing bill of indictment basing on the claim that the breach of trust is committed with regard to the said person as covering the periods where he was on duty within the body of our company.

 

First trial day for the lawsuit executed by Beykoz 2nd Criminal Court of First Instance will be held on 20.11.2008.

 

Public Prosecution Office requested for the jurisdiction of Tamer Gur who was in charge as Sales Engineer in our Company starting from January 2003 to November 2007 basing on the justification that he committed the predicate offence together with Bulent Kahraman in mutual performance and willpower, upon the reviews carried out.

 

Defendant Bulent Kahraman still works as Sales Manager in Bystronic Ltd. Sti.

 

Defendant Tamer Gur still works as Regional Sales Manager in Bystronic Ltd. Sti.

 

Bystronic is a Swiss Laser manufacturer company which we execute its Turkish Distributorship with success between the years of 1995 and 2007.

 

Said company unilaterally and unlawfully cancelled our Distributorship on 17.08.2007 by attributing the offences committed by the above mentioned defendants to our company and showing those reasons. However, the interesting and striking point is that the company which terminated our agreement upon giving the excuse of those actions opened Bystronic Turkey Office by incorporating our 6 employees to it own staff including the defendants named Bulent Kahraman and Tamer Gur whom are litigated due to those events.

 

We brought a commercial dispute on Commercial Court in Switzerland, Bern Province for the purpose of defending our rights against this Swiss company.

 

This Swiss company and the defendants within its body spread many ungrounded rumors about our company up to the present in the Market. Please demand for proof with regard to those rumors spread about our company since we do not spread any rumor but only warn our sector by telling the truth.

 

The accusation brought for the above mentioned persons is that cash money is taken or tried to be taken from some customers under the title of deposit without the scope of agreement. In the event of any application made to us by the persons giving money to those persons during the period elapsed under any title, we are required to investigate whether those are encountered such an event or not as illegal money collection has never been our company’s policy.

 

We invite every one to be responsive in due course for a decent society and a decent sheet metal processing sector.
