ECONOMIC SUPPORT WAS PROVIDED TO CAFER MAHİROĞLU

Continuing his statement, the secret witness said, “In another tender organized by the Service Procurement Branch Directorate of the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Purchasing Department, the job worth 164 million 720 thousand TL was purchased by Cafer Mahiroğlu. Mahiroğlu’s company was credited to someone residing in England. Cafer Mahiroğlu and Yusuf Yadoğlu are partners. They also exchange invoices between themselves. I would like to talk about the financing and management of Halk TV; Halk TV Cafer After it was purchased by Mahiroğlu, it was aimed to be introduced to the Mayors of Antalya, Izmir, Adana and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipalities and to strengthen it economically in order to avoid economic difficulties. In line with this goal, Mahiroğlu established a partnership with Yadoğlu and started to enter into tenders, the tenders were received by Yadoğlu and distributed to Mahiroğlu.

After a certain period of time, Mahiroğlu founded the Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Company directly from a person living in England, and through this company, he directly received tenders from the municipalities in question and continued to manage his financial interests. A person named Harika Akkaya manages the entire financial side of Halk TV. It also follows the tender processes. Muhittin Böcek has detailed information about Halk TV. İsmail Saymaz, who works at Halk TV, also had news in the press about his transition to Halk TV. I heard that 1 million euros were paid for the transfer to Halk TV, and that this money was transferred from the Yeşilköy branch of a private bank. “From this situation, I think it may have been given from the account of the company named Özdemir, with which Mahiroğlu is associated,” he said.

“AYÇA AKPEK IS ŞENAY VELİ AĞBABA’S LOVER”

Continuing his statement, the secret witness claimed that Özgür Özel, Veli Ağbaba, Burhanettin Bulut, Ali Mahir Başkar and Hüseyin Can Güner met at Ulaş Karasu’s house in Ankara and said, “These people gather and talk about the money collected from the municipalities in this house. Ulaş Karasu is one of the safes of these people in terms of money. Özgür Özel’s private secretary Gülen Göksu Ercan is actually the lover of the Chairman. He has a relationship with this person. I know that the purchase, rental and interior design of Özgür Özel’s residence in Ankara İncek was organized by Veli Ağbaba. Ayça Akpek Şenay is a member of the High Disciplinary Board. She is Veli Ağbaba’s lover. I would like to talk about the financial relations of the CHP on the day of the 38th Ordinary Congress. The money distribution was made to the delegates through this person, and their hotel accommodation and pocket money were provided by this person.

Özgür Özel, who announced that he would leave the CHP after the absolute nullity decision, officially resigned from his party membership today. The petition for the establishment of the new political formation, which was established with the departure of 90 MPs acting with the Private Party from the CHP, was delivered to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the process, Özel updated his titles on his social media accounts and shared the logo of the new party with the public.

SLOGAN PROTEST AT THE EXIT OF FRIDAY PRAYER

After the completion of the establishment procedures, Özgür Özel and his accompanying delegation went to Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque and performed the Friday prayer there. While citizens gathered in the mosque courtyard after the prayers greeted Özel with applause, a group alleged to be Kılıçdaroğlu supporters reacted by booing. The verbal taunts that started between the two groups quickly turned into a brawl.

KICKING INTERVENTION FROM MUSTAFA SARIGÜL

During the tension, former CHP Erzincan Deputy Mustafa Sarıgül, who was in the New Party Founders’ Board, turned towards the protesting group. Sarıgül was seen kicking one of the citizens who booed Özel. With Sarıgül’s physical intervention, the conflict between the parties escalated.

In his post on NSosyal, Minister of Justice Gürlek quoted the Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum’s post regarding the drawing ceremony of social housing in Malatya and underlined that the state was mobilized with all its resources under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan after the “disaster of the century” February 6 earthquakes.

Despite those who tried to overshadow the power of our state and the spirit of solidarity of our nation, the state-nation joined hands against the disaster of the century and demonstrated the solidarity of the century. I wholeheartedly congratulate all our institutions and workers in the field who mobilized to revive our cities, especially our Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change.”

There are those who object, shout and call, but I am proud to be from Erzurum because I am a Turk and a Muslim. I want to serve my nation, my fellow citizens, my country.” I will continue.” he said.

“I FEEL LIKE I HAVE COME TO MY HOMETOWN”

“245 MILLION DOLLARS COLLECTED FOR THE EARTHQUAKE WAS TRANSFERRED TO PERSONAL ACCOUNT”

Drawing attention to the solidarity shown by citizens and philanthropists after the February 6 earthquakes, Gürlek noted the following regarding the use of the collected aid funds:

“During the earthquake, 245 million dollars of aid was collected within the Friends Association. The critical issue here is that the collected money was transferred to Haluk Levent’s personal account. In his statement, the suspect admitted that he was in debt due to gambling and betting and withdrew money from the association.”

Stating that the investigations determined that 990 million TL worth of bets were placed on legal betting platforms, Gürlek said, “It is a crime to withdraw the money sent by our citizens for earthquake victims out of philanthropy and goodwill for personal use and use it in gambling. Our judicial authorities continue the process meticulously.”

FETO TRACE IN MUHSİN YAZICIOĞLU FILE

Minister Gürlek, who conveyed the latest developments regarding the investigation of late BBP founding Chairman Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu, said: “Previously, the file was in another chief prosecutor’s office. Then, our Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office received the file. Expert teams are examining it. Here we saw this. Our friends, our chief prosecutor’s office saw this. There is an organization here. There is very serious evidence that this work was done by FETO. As you know, an operation was carried out recently. 19 people were arrested. 21 people were detained. Now it is here.” “There are very serious evidence, which I have examined myself, showing that this particular massacre against FETO was an organization of FETO.”

ATTRACTIVE FINGERPRINT DETAIL

Stating that there are remarkable details in the file, Minister Gürlek said, “Especially before the helicopter had an accident, that is, before it crashed, an F-4 plane passed over it. Of course, reports had been received on this issue before. Especially, whether the helicopter crashed because of the passing of this F-4 plane or whether it crashed due to weather conditions and other deficiencies of the helicopter. Of course, the pilot who flew the F-4 plane and other connections are being investigated. Especially the fingerprints of the wife of the pilot who flew the F-4 plane at that time, especially at Adil Öksüz’s house.” Later, phone calls of this pilot with the ‘Air Force imam’ and the ‘private imam’ come out on those dates,” he said.

“THERE IS A STRONG SUSPICION”

Minister Gürlek stated that there was an opinion that FETO carried out this action at the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office and said, “Last time, you know, the Elazığ provincial imam was arrested. His ByLock correspondence was released. In the ByLock correspondence of the Elazığ provincial imam, especially with someone from the civil service, there is a correspondence saying ‘we got this job done as quickly as possible. Our elder was especially very worried about this process. He is very pleased with how it ended.’ From here, friends are investigating all the evidence. The investigation is still ongoing. But as far as we can see, there is an organization here. Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office formed an opinion that the late Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu was targeted by FETO and that the organization carried out such an action. There will probably be more to come. But here is the first evidence, I have examined the file myself, I was also the chief prosecutor. As far as I can see, the murder of the deceased was committed as a result of an organization by FETO. “There is a suspicion, a serious suspicion, a strong suspicion. The Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office will probably re-evaluate the situation as evidence emerges,” he said.

“OPERATIONS MAY EXPAND WITHIN THE SCOPE OF NEW EVIDENCE”

Reminding that the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office is carrying out the investigation, Minister Gürlek said, “Now, of course, the prosecutor’s office is conducting an investigation. It may conduct an operation again within the scope of new evidence. In other words, FETO’s contacts are being investigated. In particular, the contacts of those who were given an arrest warrant in custody, their contacts with FETO, their HTS analysis studies, who they last met with, this organization will definitely continue. After all, if it is a FETO organization, but here it is at the discretion of our prosecutor’s office, the authority conducting the investigation, the prosecutor’s office will continue the investigation or when.” “We don’t know if he will do it,” he said.

GULISTAN TISSUE INVESTIGATION

Referring to the Gülistan Doku investigation, Minister Gürlek said:

“Gülistan Doku, both our Tunceli Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office and our Erzurum Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, are responsible for two chief prosecutors’ offices. Since there is a governor there, the authority to investigate the governors belongs to the nearest provincial chief prosecutor’s office. Erzurum Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office looks after it. And the place where the crime was committed is looked after by the Tunceli Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office. As far as I know, a new operation was carried out. Here, I know that the wife of the then governor of Tunceli, the Protectors, and the personnel who deleted some hospital records are now in custody or have been referred to arrest. The investigation continues.

Especially there is Umut Altaş. This is our key point regarding this. We issued a red notice. As you know, he is now in America, he was arrested in the USA. A voice recording file of a person he met in prison was presented as evidence. I don’t know if you followed. Here, especially Umut Altaş has very important confessions. But of course, we insistently want Umut Altaş to be brought to Türkiye. We also met with the US authorities here. An extradition hearing is taking place there. The process is going positively now. In my opinion, Umut Altaş is the most important eyewitness of the incident. Especially a close friend of the child, that is, the suspect. He is also a close friend of Gülistan Doku. Here Gülistan Doku is in the prime of her life. A young brother of ours. They have hopes, they have a future. Likewise, we handled the files of Rojin Kabaiş and our other brothers. There is currently an ongoing process in Gülistan Doku. “We still have two chief prosecutors’ offices.”

In cooperation with Antalya Governorship, Zero Waste Foundation and Antalya Blue Mediterranean Initiative, ‘Leave Your Mark on the Future – Plastic-Free July Meeting’ was held in the historical Phaselis South Port in order to protect marine ecosystems and raise awareness against waste pollution in the seas. Governor Hulusi Şahin examined the sea cleaning works carried out in Phaselis South Port with the accompanying delegation. Referring to the plastic waste that washed up on the shores of Antalya in recent weeks, Governor Şahin said, “We examined where they came from. The first findings point to plastics coming from Türkiye’s cities on the Mediterranean coast and from other countries. In the first investigations, we also encountered plastics with writings in foreign languages. This shows the fact that the Mediterranean is actually a big pool and pollution in one place affects another place.”

Pointing out that the problem is a common problem not only in Antalya but also in the entire Mediterranean basin, Governor Şahin said that they are focused on taking concrete measures in the short term. Governor Şahin said, “There are 29 rivers in Antalya and we know that certain pollution and plastics from these rivers reach the sea and from the sea to our shores. Therefore, we are seeking to expand the use of barriers within the framework of our initiative to prevent these. Our Metropolitan Municipality is working on this issue. We will put barriers at the mouths of all 29 rivers with the contributions of our sponsors and supporting companies. We started this practice in some of our rivers in the first place and will continue.” Zero Waste Foundation President Samed Ağırbaş said, “In the coming days, we will hold a meeting about plastic pollution in Antalya with the representatives of our Antalya Governorship and 14 ministries. Everyone is exposed to 5 grams of microplastic per week, and we inadvertently ingest microplastic into our bodies. This is harmful to both our country’s economy, the health of our citizens, and our individual economy.”
