In Istanbul, it was stated in the detention order written for 6 people detained as part of the investigation into the criminal organization led by Aziz İhsan Aktaş that the organization had won 30 tenders in 5 years.
The investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office continues regarding the allegation that the criminal organization, allegedly led by Aziz İhsan Aktaş, organized tenders by bribing mayors and high-level officials of municipalities.
In the detention order written by the prosecutor's office for the suspects, it was noted that the suspects Ali Rıza Yılmaz, Emirhan Akçadağ, Gülal Erdovan, Zafer Ozan Ay, Gökhan Turan, and Gülşah Ocak are currently employed at Beşiktaş Municipality.
30 TENDERS IN 5 YEARS
It was reported that the criminal organization led by Aziz İhsan Aktaş had won approximately 30 tenders from Beşiktaş Municipality since 2020, and when the processes of the tenders were examined, it was stated that a large portion of the firms that received the approximate cost, were invited to the tender, or submitted bids through EKAP were the same, and that the suspects are currently involved in many tenders.
The document stated that an expert report was obtained for 4 different tenders in the first stage, that it was unclear how communication was established with the firms from which the approximate cost offers were received, and that there were no delivery-receipt documents regarding who submitted the bids, and that the firm officials stated in their statements that the signatures on the approximate price offers did not belong to them.
It was mentioned in the document that Fahri Aksoy, who enabled Aziz İhsan Aktaş to win tenders at Beşiktaş Municipality in 2020, stated that the approximate cost offers were prepared under Aktaş's organization and were delivered to the municipality by his employee Akın Kumanlı, and that the approximate cost calculations were prepared by suspects Gülşah Ocak and Zafer Ozan Ay in almost all of the tender files.
"AKTAŞ DEVELOPED RELATIONS WITH MUNICIPAL MANAGERS AND WON TENDERS"
The document stated that suspect Ocak had HTS records with Kumanlı, that other suspects also knew Kumanlı, and that some of the firms from which the approximate cost was obtained were registered under the names of Fahri Aksoy's wife, son, and cousin Mükerrem S. It was noted that the address used by the company named I.T., which belonged to Fahri Aksoy at that time and was registered under his girlfriend Arzu K.'s name, was later used by the company named I.O., which was established by Aziz İhsan Aktaş's girlfriend Gökçe G.
The document highlighted that Aziz İhsan Aktaş started winning tenders from Beşiktaş Municipality with Fahri Aksoy and later sidelined him, emphasizing that Aktaş developed his relationship with municipal managers and won all the tenders remaining in the areas of activity of his companies.
TENDERS WENT TO RELATIVES' COMPANY
The document stated that HTS records were found with various municipal managers, including suspect Ali Rıza Yılmaz, and that only the company named "Elif LPG," which won the tenders, was registered under Aziz İhsan Aktaş's name, and it was determined that all companies registered under his siblings, girlfriend, children, and relatives had received tenders from the municipality.
Irregular tender acquisition processes were identified.
AKTAŞ BİLİŞİM WON AT 11 TIMES THE PRICE
The document stated that the company named "Aktaş Bilişim," which won the tender for approximately 55 million lira, had previously been won by a company in Konya for about 5 million lira, which was sidelined for various reasons, and that it was emphasized that Aziz İhsan Aktaş's organization had organized the municipality's tender work under its own control, considering that "Aktaş Bilişim" won the tender at 11 times the price.
