The investigation into the concert related to the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality has been completed.

CASE AGAINST 14 DEFENDANTS

In the indictment prepared regarding the investigation, a case was filed against 14 defendants, 5 of whom are detained, for the crime of 'qualified embezzlement'.

INVESTIGATION BACKGROUND

In the investigation conducted by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was determined in the reports prepared by the Ministry of Interior's Inspectorate, MASAK examination, Court of Accounts examination, and expert reports that the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality incurred a loss of 154 million 453 thousand 221.60 lira in the procurement of 32 concert services.

As part of the investigation, on September 23, 14 suspects, including former municipal bureaucrats and company officials, were detained on charges of "abuse of office" and "manipulating a tender".

YAVAŞ: THOSE RESPONSIBLE WILL FACE PUNISHMENT, WE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEM

Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş, in a statement regarding the allegations of public loss, said, "We are examining all past concerts one by one. You can ask how much each concert cost. There are hundreds of companies doing this work. If they had asked what features they have and how much you did these concerts, we wouldn't be experiencing this today. We want justice. You can take these from similar organizations and compare them with others. If it was done more expensively here, those responsible will face punishment, we will not stand behind them. If it were my brother, I would hold the one who committed corruption accountable. We are also against anyone being falsely accused in advance," he stated.
