A total of 14 suspects were detained on the grounds of causing a public loss of 399 million 507 thousand lira through ASAT, affiliated with the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, and its subsidiary company ALDAŞ. Within the scope of the investigation, it was determined that the accommodation fees of foreign women were paid, and these women stayed in the same room with ALDAŞ employees or some public officials.
The investigation conducted by the Antalya Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding irregular expenditures related to the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality company ALDAŞ A.Ş. has been completed. It was noted that ALDAŞ A.Ş. was established to support the ASAT General Directorate, and that expenditures were reflected to the ASAT General Directorate under the name of consultancy at 15% above the actual costs based on the consultancy contract made in 1995, but the relevant supporting documents for these invoices were not provided, and the examination of these invoices was obstructed, being approved only by the ASAT General Manager.
"THOSE WHO FLY HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH ALDAŞ AND ASAT"
It was stated that a large portion of the trips made by both ASAT General Directorate officials and Metropolitan Municipality officials, both abroad and domestically, were covered by the ALDAŞ General Directorate, that there were no assignments for personnel traveling abroad, and that some of those who flew had no relationship with ALDAŞ or ASAT, indicating that public resources were indirectly embezzled in this way.
THEY STAYED IN HOTELS WITH FOREIGN WOMEN WITHOUT CONDUCTING AUDITS
It was recorded that expenses such as transportation, hotel, and meals were accounted for anonymously, that there were many individuals with no relation to the municipality or ALDAŞ A.Ş., and that accommodation fees were paid for women who were citizens of foreign countries, who stayed in the same room with ALDAŞ employees and some public officials. It was noted that the establishments where accommodation took place were generally luxurious and high-end places, that alcohol consumption was also seen in some foreign invoices, but no information was provided about who incurred these expenses, and it was determined that a public loss of 63 million 414 thousand TL was caused due to expenses categorized as travel, accommodation, and representation hosting.
COURT OF ACCOUNTS OFFICIALS ALSO STAYED
Among the hotel accommodation and meal invoices paid by ALDAŞ A.Ş., it was noted that there were some Court of Accounts officials who came to audit ASAT or the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality or were not on duty, and that to prevent the identification of these individuals, no names or information were added to the company's accounting records. It was determined that vehicles rented by ALDAŞ A.Ş. were used for personal use or by third parties unrelated to the company, and that traffic fines issued for vehicles used by these individuals were covered by the company, resulting in a public loss of 24 million 782 thousand TL.
FIXED ASSETS COULD NOT BE FOUND IN THE COMPANY
It was stated that many mobile phones, tablets, and laptops that were company fixed assets but were found to be missing during the counts were made available for use by third parties unrelated to the company, resulting in a public loss of 8 million 400 thousand TL.
PAYMENT TO THE RELATIVE OF THE BRIDE
Due to payments made to M.K., the girlfriend of Muhittin Böcek, who was appointed as an internal auditor by the Board of Directors and received payments under the name of 'sitting fee' without actual service, a public loss of 1 million 912 thousand TL was caused, and it was recorded that payments were made to N.E., the relative of Muhittin Böcek's daughter-in-law Zuhal Böcek, under the name of salary and insurance payments, with a related loss of 2 million 686 thousand TL. It was determined that some of the individuals assigned as consultants within ALDAŞ had been paid 776 thousand 725 despite the absence of any reports, information, or documents regarding their consultancy services.
PERSONNEL EXPENSES SHOWN AS TECHNOPARK EXPENSES
It was recorded that 94% of the 158 million 171 thousand TL spent so far on software project work under the name of Technopark was personnel expenses, that no income had been generated so far, and that a program was purchased for 59 million TL to develop a software project, resulting in no financial gain for the company, causing a public loss of 274 million 969 thousand TL. It was determined that the company's financial statements did not reflect the reality regarding receivables that had no collection capability or for which legal proceedings had not been initiated, resulting in a public loss of 996 thousand 874 TL.
