A packaging company operating in Istanbul Büyükçekmece was shaken by the shock of fraud. It was revealed that the company’s finance director HY, who has been an employee for 20 years, defrauded the company of 211 million lira through the shell company he established.

COUNSELING GAME
The investigation, which started with the notice of General Manager LB, who applied to the Büyükçekmece Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, revealed an incredible profiteering plan. Finance director HY had a female colleague working in the same company establish a consultancy company on paper. Starting from the beginning of 2024, millions of liras of money began to be transferred from the main company to this shell company under the name of “consultancy service”. Allegedly, after a while, HY took over 2/3 of the consultancy company he founded. When the company’s accountant noticed the situation, HY and his accomplices included the accountant in the plan. It was determined that the accountant, who received a salary of 80 thousand TL from his own company, was given a monthly salary of 200 thousand TL from the shell company as hush money. In the studies carried out, it was determined that the suspects transferred 211 million lira to the company they established in order to defraud the company they worked for. While the Public Security Branch Directorate teams were deciphering the heist, they found that the shell company was not working with any other company and that no money was entering its account from another company. The suspects were detained. The suspects, who were later referred to the courthouse, were arrested by the court.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the Formula 1 Turkish Grand Prix Promotion Program held at the Presidential Dolmabahçe Working Office. Stating that Formula 1 is among the world’s largest sports organizations with its viewing pleasure, young followers and pioneering in automobile technologies, Erdoğan said:

WE HOSTED IT 9 TIMES: In our country, Formula 1 has a significant number of followers and even enthusiasts from all ages, especially our young people. While the races reach around 19 million people in our country, they are closely followed by approximately 7.5 million followers on social media. We hosted Formula 1 a total of 9 times, including 7 races between 2005-2011 and 2 races in 2020 and 2021 during the Covid period. The first race in 2005 broke the record in the history of our Republic with more than 110 thousand spectators in the stands alone. Legendary races, unforgettable events and hard-to-break records, Istanbul

It engraved the Park in memories as one of the most popular tracks of Formula 1.

When we look at Türkiye’s history full of success, I believe that returning to Formula 1 from 2027 will add great value to the championship. Istanbul Park, which is a favorite of racing fans especially with its eighth corner, will hopefully host eye-catching, exciting and enjoyable races for five periods between 2027-2031.

A SIGN OF TRUST IN Türkiye: Türkiye’s re-inclusion in the Formula 1 calendar; I see it as a new sign of great confidence in our country’s strong organizational ability, modern sports and health infrastructure, its deep maintenance of its region’s role as an island of stability in recent years, and of course the hospitality of the Turkish nation. As Türkiye, we will not disappoint this trust as before and will host the races with a perfect organization in every respect. I wholeheartedly congratulate everyone who contributed to bringing Formula 1 to our country and Istanbul. I hope that Türkiye, a motor sports country, will continue to grow stronger with Formula 1 in the coming years.

FORMULA 1 VEHICLE TOURED IN THE STREETS OF ISTANBUL
With the start given by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Formula 1 car took to the streets of Istanbul. Departing from Galataport, the vehicle traveled along the European side of the Bosphorus, between Karaköy and Beşiktaş, and reached the Presidential Office in Dolmabahçe. The F1 car’s journey in Istanbul was broadcast live by national and international media.

‘WITH YOUR VISION, WE BROUGHT THIS SPORT TO ISTANBUL’
Formula 1 CEO and President Stefano Domenicali said, “Mr. President, we brought this sport here with your vision. I thank you all and I also thank you for following Formula 1. We are very happy that a sport with millions of fans is coming to Istanbul again. We will enjoy this country and this city as well.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the “Türkiye Century Strong Center for Investment Program” at Dolmabahçe Working Office. Erdoğan said the following in his speech here:

KEYSTONE OF STABILITY: Our region and the world economy are experiencing the most turbulent and uncertain days of recent times. Almost everyone, especially our business and economic circles, is trying to find their way and direction among a dense cloud of fog, while following the changing atmosphere every other day. By successfully managing the biggest security crisis of recent years, Türkiye has once again confirmed and registered that its region is an island of stability. This process, which has reshaped the global economic order and value chains, has made our country the keystone of global economic stability. We are determined to make Türkiye a global center of attraction. We will take our country’s attractiveness even further with the comprehensive regulation that we will soon submit to our Parliament.

TAX ADVANTAGE: With the regulations we will make, we are expanding the tax advantage provided to institutions operating in the Istanbul Financial Center. We are increasing the current 50 percent discount rate to 100 percent on earnings obtained from transit trade or intermediary activities for the purchase and sale of goods abroad. Thus, we will not collect corporate tax on the profits obtained from the activities in question. We exclude 95 percent of the earnings of those who engage in transit trade activities outside the Istanbul Financial Center from tax. Another priority is to encourage global companies to move their regional headquarters to Türkiye. We provide a strong tax advantage to the profits these companies generate by conducting their foreign operations from Türkiye.

ONE STOP OFFICE: Another important step of ours is to carry out large-scale and qualified international direct investments from a single center. In other words, it is a “one stop office” application. With this application, we are establishing a fast and digitally supported investor-friendly structure where investment processes are simplified.

RADICAL STEP: We were applying our general corporate tax rate of 25 percent with a 5 point discount to exporters and an additional 1 point discount to manufacturers. Now we are taking a more radical step and reducing this tax to 9 percent, especially for our manufacturing exporters. We are also reducing it to 14 percent for our other exporting institutions. Another issue that is as critical as exports is the incentives that bring foreign currency to our country.

PRIVILEGES FOR THOSE RETURNING HOME: If people living abroad and who have not been taxpayers in our country in the last three years come to our country, we will not be taxed in Türkiye for their foreign income and earnings for 20 years. Only their in-country income, if any, will be taxed. In Türkiye, we will apply the inheritance tax for these people as 1 percent. We are also implementing regulations that will bring the assets of our citizens and companies abroad to our economy. In this context, we enable money, gold and securities located abroad to be brought to Türkiye with a low tax within a certain period of time. We encourage our entrepreneurs who have established a company abroad or become partners in an established company to bring their earnings to our country. We allow all earnings to be tax deducted.
