"Bribery investigation against the governor who cannot explain his assets worth 98 million."

Important developments have occurred regarding the then-governor Osman Bilgin, who was found at fault in the expert report prepared for the flood disaster that took place in Kırklareli in June 2023. T24 writer Tolga Şardan emphasized that Osman Bilgin could not explain his assets worth 98 million lira, claiming that the Ministry of Interior has granted permission for an investigation against Bilgin within the framework of the Sisli Vadi case.

DID HE TURN A BLIND EYE TO ILLEGAL FACILITIES?

Shardan stated that the investigation permission was approved by Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, and the report indicated that Bilgin ignored illegal facilities, turning a blind eye to the fact that six citizens lost their lives in the flood disaster.

DID NOT DECLARE ASSETS

The report prepared regarding Osman Bilgin's assets included information that Governor Bilgin did not declare the 380 thousand lira obtained from the sale of a 2017 model Audi A6 luxury vehicle sold by his wife in 2018, as well as the purchase and sale of a vehicle he acquired in 2022 and sold three months later. Furthermore, it was revealed that Bilgin had financial transactions with some jewelry firms to avoid declaring his assets.

MONEY TRAFFIC IN THE REPORT

The expert report stated: "It was revealed that 311 thousand 200 lira deposited into Bilgin's bank account in December 2021 in exchange for gold exchange on behalf of Üzer Kuyumculuk, 2 million 840 thousand lira transferred in four separate transactions on September 12, 2023, again in exchange for gold on behalf of Karadeniz Kuyumculuk, and a total of 385 thousand lira sent by the same firm in two separate transactions on September 13, 2023, along with 6 million 700 thousand lira deposited into the bank account by S.A. in January 2024 and 191 thousand 250 lira in February 2024, as well as 600 thousand lira transferred by H.G. in three separate transactions of 200 thousand lira each on September 1, September 2, and September 22, 2022, were not recorded in the asset declaration."
