In the MASAK report prepared within the scope of the investigation conducted by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the financial movements of the arrested Hür Ağbaba were examined. According to the report, money transfers exceeding 343 million lira were made in Ağbaba's personal accounts between 2020 and 2026. It was stated that 70.4 million lira in cash was withdrawn from the company he was a partner in, that there was a money flow of more than 226 million lira between the companies and his personal accounts, and that transfers worth millions of lira were made on behalf of 'Veli Ağbaba'.

A new development occurred in the investigation conducted by the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

NEW PARTY MP AGHBABA LINKED TO HIS ELDER BROTHER

It was determined that Suleyman Ekinci, the General Manager of Egesehir and one of the suspects arrested within the scope of the investigation, had connections with Hur Aghbaba, the elder brother of New Party Malatya Deputy Veli Aghbaba.

SENT TO PRISON

Following these findings, Hur Aghbaba and another suspect were detained in Diyarbakir and Malatya. After the prosecutor's office procedures at the courthouse, Hur Aghbaba was referred to the duty judge and was arrested and sent to prison.

AGHBABA'S MILLION-DOLLAR MONEY TRAFFIC IN MASAK REPORT

On the other hand, upon the request of the Organized Crimes Investigation Bureau of the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, Hur Aghbaba's financial profile, company relations, bank accounts, and assets were examined by MASAK.

In the report prepared by MASAK on July 28, 2026, it was stated that it was requested to investigate whether Aghbaba's accounts contained unusual, suspicious, or transactions needing source explanation. The examination was conducted within the scope of Article 282 of the Turkish Penal Code, which regulates the crime of "laundering assets derived from crime."

MONEY TRAFFIC EXPLODED IN 2023

The banking data in the report showed a sharp increase in Hur Aghbaba's money transfers, especially starting from 2023.

While the total of cash inflows and outflows in Turkish Lira was approximately 30.5 million lira in 2022, this figure exceeded 95 million lira in 2023. Thus, the total TL transfer volume increased by approximately 211 percent in one year.

It was determined that in 2023, 48 million 441 thousand lira left Hur Aghbaba's accounts, and 46 million 587 thousand lira entered his accounts.

The money traffic grew even more in 2024. In that year, there was an outflow of 58 million 92 thousand lira and an inflow of 46 million 840 thousand lira. The total transfer volume in just one year reached 104 million 932 thousand lira.

MASAK explicitly described this increase in 2023 and 2024 as a "sharp increase" in its report. Although there was a decline in 2025, it was noted that the transaction volume continued to remain high compared to the general level.

TRANSFERS TOTALING 343 MILLION LIRA BETWEEN 2020-2026

According to the report, between 2020 and 2026, Hur Aghbaba's TL transfers included a total of 172 million 192 thousand lira in inflows and 170 million 968 thousand lira in outflows.

Thus, the gross transfer traffic in Turkish Lira alone in Aghbaba's personal accounts exceeded 343 million lira. Transactions conducted in hundreds of thousands of euros and dollars were also added to this.

The investigation is expected to clarify what commercial relationships these million-dollar transfers were based on, and whether invoices, contracts, and payment documents exist.

70.4 MILLION LIRA CASH WITHDRAWN FROM COMPANY

One of the most striking findings in the report concerned Trio Girisim Muhendislik Insaat Akaryakit Turizm Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Company, in which Hur Aghbaba has a 50 percent partnership record.

It was determined that a total of 70 million 411 thousand 866 lira in cash was withdrawn from the company's bank accounts in 35 separate transactions during 2025.

Among the cash transactions, the withdrawal of 23 million 801 thousand 860 lira in a single transaction on September 25, 2025 stood out. Additionally, high-amount cash withdrawals such as 4 million 400 thousand lira, 3 million 500 thousand lira, and 3 million 150 thousand lira were made.

It was observed that the transaction descriptions predominantly included the phrase "paid to Mustafa Ozturk," while some transactions were made with the description "paid to Ibrahim Beyazkaya."

The report does not explain why millions of lira were withdrawn in cash, for what goods or services these payments were made to these individuals, or where the money was ultimately used.

CASH OUTFLOW OF 20 MILLION FROM PERSONAL ACCOUNT AS WELL

It was determined that cash movements were not limited to the company account. A total of 20 million 309 thousand lira was withdrawn in cash from Hur Aghbaba's personal bank accounts in 2020, and 20 million 489 thousand lira in 2025.

In 2024, the amount of cash deposited into the accounts reached 19 million 416 thousand lira. MASAK evaluated these periodic increases as "noteworthy."

It was recorded that between 2017 and 2026, a total of 66 million 328 thousand lira was withdrawn in cash from Aghbaba's accounts, and 55 million 864 thousand lira was deposited in cash. Cash transactions in foreign currency were also reflected in the report.

115 MILLION LIRA FROM COMPANIES TO PERSONAL ACCOUNT

The report also detailed the high-amount money transfers between companies in which Hur Aghbaba has a partnership record. A total of 107 million 620 thousand lira was sent from Aghbaba Insaat Ticaret ve Sanayi Limited Company to Hur Aghbaba. The money sent from Hur Aghbaba to the same company was 26 million 716 thousand lira.

While 7 million 250 thousand lira was sent from Trio Girisim to Aghbaba, 84 million 120 thousand lira was transferred from Aghbaba to Trio Girisim.

According to the company table in the report, a total of 115 million 61 thousand lira was sent to Hur Aghbaba from companies with partnership links. Transfers from Aghbaba to the companies reached 111 million 345 thousand lira.

The total gross money traffic between company accounts and personal accounts exceeded 226 million lira. The report did not specify whether these transactions were in the nature of capital transfers, debts, receivables, profit shares, or commercial payments.

MILLION-DOLLAR TRANSFERS WITH VELI AGHBABA

In the counterparty table of the MASAK report, transactions under the name "Veli Aghbaba" also drew attention. It was observed that 4 million 193 thousand lira left Hur Aghbaba's accounts through the record named "Veli Aghbaba," while 53 thousand lira came from the counterparty.

Additionally, in a separate line arranged under the name "Aghbaba Veli" with a partially masked ID number, a cash outflow of 1 million 398 thousand 700 lira was recorded.

The report did not make a definitive assessment as to whether these two records belonged to the same person. However, whether the transfers were connected to CHP member Veli Aghbaba, the justification for sending the money, and whether the transactions had a commercial or personal basis were among the issues the investigation needed to answer.

COMPANIES AND PROPERTIES ALSO REFLECTED IN THE REPORT

It was determined that Hur Aghbaba had partnership records in numerous companies operating in construction, tourism, agriculture, real estate, and investment over the years. Among the partnerships with no exit date appearing in the report were 40 percent shares in Aghbaba Insaat, 50 percent in Trio Girisim, 30 percent in Melid Turizm, 20 percent in MIMOK Yatirim, and 20 percent in Malatya Organik Tarim.

In TAKBIS data, it was seen that there were records of numerous plots, fields, residences, adobe houses, gardens, and poplar groves in the Yesilyurt, Battalgazi, and Yazihan districts of Malatya.

A plot of land acquired through purchase in 2023 in Izmir Foca was also identified in the name of Hur Aghbaba.

It was stated that many of the immovables in Malatya were acquired through inheritance in 2025. The report stated that no motor vehicles registered under Ağbaba's name were found.

HÜR AĞBABA'S PAST PROSECUTION RECORDS ALSO IN THE REPORT

In MASAK's UYAP review, it was noted that Hür Ağbaba had prosecution records between 2011 and 2019 for "fraud to the detriment of public institutions and organizations" and "forgery of official documents."

The report did not include information on the outcome of these files, whether there was an acquittal or conviction decision. Therefore, these records should not be considered a final determination of a crime, but rather as a history of prosecutions reflected in the MASAK report.
