Criminal Usury

Abstract

In Turkish law, “Criminal Usury” was first arranged in article 17 of the 2279 numbered “Money Lending Works Code” and applied until the 5237 numbered “Turkish Criminal Code” entered into force. In this period, there was a consistent and instructive jurisprudence due to the binding definitions of the 90 numbered “Legislative Decree on Money Lending Works” so, any problem did not occur in the application during this period. However, since the new arrangement in the article 241 of the Turkish Criminal Code entered into force, there has been an unfair and unlawful understanding that any ordinary or commercial money lending –either professionally usury or not- constitutes the offence. In this article, emphasizing the debated points, the structural elements of the offence is analyzed, the substantial notions -at first ‘usury’- are examined in detail and certain suggestions in order to solve the problems in the application are made.
