The background of the events between former Uşak Mayor Özkan Yalım, who was arrested as part of bribery and corruption investigations and gave an additional statement under the effective remorse law, and CHP deputy Veli Ağbaba has emerged.

It was alleged that Yalım said, "This is just the beginning, they will see their days."
The background of the additional statement given under the scope of effective remorse by former Uşak Mayor Özkan Yalım, who was caught in a hotel room with his young lover and arrested on bribery and corruption allegations, has emerged. It was claimed that Yalım was furious about being expelled from the CHP without his defense being heard, and therefore specifically targeted CHP Malatya Deputy Veli Ağbaba in his additional statement.
"CLAIM THAT AĞBABA EXERTED INFLUENCE IN YALIM'S EXPULSION"
It was learned that Ağbaba's reactions at the last party assembly, such as "we can't go out, we can't explain this to anyone," were influential, and he pressured CHP Chairman Özgür Özel regarding Yalım's expulsion, achieving results. Yalım, who did not expect to be expelled from the party, subsequently applied to the prosecutor's office to give a statement under effective remorse. According to information obtained from judicial sources, it was alleged that Yalım specifically had it recorded in the statement minutes that he was expelled from the party without his defense being heard in his initial statement.
Meanwhile, it was learned that Özkan Yalım is still angry about the expulsion incident and said, "This is just the beginning, they will see their day."
