It has been learned that the investigation opened by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against the Bayrampaşa Municipality for the crimes of "bribery", "corruption", "qualified fraud", and "interfering with a tender" began upon the complaint of a earthquake victim who returned to the district after their house in Hatay was destroyed in the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, which was described as the "disaster of the century".
EARTHQUAKE VICTIM'S "BRIBERY" ALLEGATION
Teams from the Istanbul Police Department's Financial Crimes Unit determined that after the application was made, the earthquake victim A.O. requested permission from Mayor Hasan Mutlu to open a café on a vacant lot and received approval.
The teams, which identified that the earthquake victim was being delayed in legal proceedings and that after an investment of approximately 2.5 million lira, a bribe of 3 million lira was requested for the opening of the café, also found that there were pressures to give 25% of the café to Hasan Mutlu.
"THE CAFÉ WAS SEALED WHEN I DIDN'T PAY"
The complainant café operator stated in the testimony of the earthquake victim, "I am from Hatay, I lived in Bayrampaşa for many years and went to Hatay. When my house was destroyed there, I returned due to the earthquake and asked the mayor for permission to open a café. I received approval, and I was directed to the deputy mayor for the legal process. They said it would first be tendered to a company and then delivered from there. I incurred approximately 2.5 million TL in expenses. They made promises in this regard. However, during the time that passed, I was constantly delayed, and they asked me for 3 million TL and a 25% partnership. When I didn't pay, the café was sealed. I made this investment trusting the promises and commitments made."
HE HAS REGISTERED THE NAME OF THE CAFÉ
As the investigation deepened, the teams determined that the name rights of Mis Cafe, which is a municipal enterprise, belonged to Hasan Mutlu.
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
Teams from the Istanbul Police Department's Financial Crimes Unit had detained 48 suspects, including Mayor Hasan Mutlu, Deputy Mayors Atilla Özen, Hakan Baş, Lütfi Kadıoğulları, Gündüz Kalkan, and Legal Affairs Director Bilgehan Yağcı, in a simultaneous operation they conducted.
The suspects were referred to the courthouse after their procedures at the police station.
