HE BLAMED ALAATTİN KÖSELER FOR THE CRIME While the repercussions of the incident continued, the statement of the detained Deputy Mayor Fidan Gül was revealed. In relation to the allegations of 'manipulating the tender', Gül attributed the blame to Alaattin Köseler, stating, "The president prohibited us from working with the companies that won the tender in the previous term. He offered a tender retrospectively, but we did not accept it because I found it inappropriate. All tenders after the local elections are irregular. Therefore, I feel morally disturbed. I believe there has been a public loss."
Alaattin Köseler STATEMENT FROM KÖSELER'S LAWYER After Fidan Gül's statement, a striking statement came from Alaattin Köseler’s lawyer, Çiğdem Kezer, who was detained. Kezer stated that Fidan Gül's baseless allegations were merely an attempt to create a perception to escape the crime, saying, "The allegations made by Beykoz Deputy Mayor Fidan Gül against my client, Beykoz Mayor Architect Alaattin Köseler, which have appeared in some press and media outlets in recent days, are well known to the public. Fidan Gül's baseless allegations are merely an attempt to create a perception to escape the crime. It is clear that these statements, which are based entirely on personal and abstract claims and are not supported by concrete evidence, cannot be taken into account in criminal proceedings due to the nature of the legal process."
