In view of such situation, Zarrab's detention had effect of the become torn bomb in Ankara. According to the chairman of the National Republican Party (NRP) Kemal Kylychdaroglu, in the last some days in Turkey someone lost rest as the question of became the subject most discussed in a political lobby, whether Zarrab in the USA will give confession about communications with Turkey or not. The judicial system of the republic which has got under influence of the government, finally closed affairs on similar claims.

the set of assumptions concerning that Moves forward, why Zarrab needed to leave Turkey (where he lived in safety in Ankara) in the USA where there was a probability of his detention. According to the most authentic and checked version, Zarrab will give "confession", will publish "critical names and communications" (with which he cooperated with the purpose of circumvention of the American sanctions) to try to reduce weight of the fault. The motive which has induced Zarrab to go on this way, Babek Zandzhani's business investigation on which came to the end in Iran is.
Known in Turkey as Zarrab's "partner", Zandzhani was condemned by p in Iran on charge of assignment of governmental money by circumvention of the American sanctions, and sentenced to death. To change a punishment measure to imprisonment, Zandzhani set a condition to return all money removed from IRI. To Zarrab the same fate can be prepared.
