More than 879 companies worth $11.2million have been seized by Turkish government since the last June failed coup attempt, data from the state-run Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) revealed.
These companies are either transferred to TMSF or trustees appointed to their management by the government.
TMSF’s quarterly activity report for the January-March period, which was released last week, showed that the 879 seized companies were from 43 of Turkey’s provinces.
The total equity capital of the seized companies is $5.5million, while their combined turnover is $6million, according to the TMSF report.
The TMSF report also revealed that a determination of value of 70 out of the 147 media organizations that were closed down by the government in the aftermath of the coup attempt has been completed.
