In the operation that took place today targeting the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB), one of those detained was İmamoğlu's security chief, Mustafa Akın. It is reported that Akın was the person who gave the instruction to tape the cameras of the hotel where İmamoğlu held secret meetings. Meanwhile, the focus of the fourth wave of operations includes KİPTAŞ, İBB Road Maintenance, and İSTAÇ.
The corruption investigation involving suspects, including Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was removed from his position as the Mayor of Istanbul after his arrest by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, continues. The charges include "being a leader of a criminal organization," "being a member of a criminal organization," "bribery," "extortion," "qualified fraud," "illegally obtaining personal data," and "interfering with a tender."
PROTECTION DIRECTOR MUSTAFA AKIN IN CUSTODY As part of the investigation, 44 people have been detained, one of whom is İmamoğlu's protection director, Mustafa Akın. It is reported that the order to tape the hotel cameras where İmamoğlu held secret meetings was given by Akın.
THREE PARTICIPANTS AT THE CENTER OF THE OPERATION On the other hand, the focus of the 4th wave operation against İBB includes KİPTAŞ, İBB Road Maintenance, and İSTAÇ. According to information obtained from sources, the corruption related to İBB Road Maintenance and the Cebeci Casting site, which is at the center of İSTAÇ, leads to Fatih Keleş, who is referred to as İmamoğlu's treasurer. It is claimed that the corruption occurring within KİPTAŞ is linked to Adem Soytekin.
It is stated that Fatih Keleş acted in conjunction with Murat Gülibrahimoğlu and İbrahim Bülbüllü, who is directly connected to İmamoğlu. Suspect Sarp Yalçınkaya is alleged to have been involved in criminal activities with Gülibrahimoğlu and to have laundered the proceeds of crime.
Ali Nuhoğlu. ALLEGATION OF IRREGULAR ASPHALT TENDER It is stated that the İBB Road Maintenance corruption was carried out by Ali Nuhoğlu, who was arrested in the first wave operation, and the companies that acted with Nuhoğlu, and that these firms obtained asphalt tenders from İBB irregularly.
It is alleged that Adem Soytekin acted through intermediary real estate agents in the KİPTAŞ corruption, while it is noted that all authorized and responsible individuals who facilitated these crimes are being targeted in the operation. It is reported that detailed findings regarding the corruption processes are included in all files by experts.
