İmamoğlu reveals the cost of the March 19 operation! 'This price has come out of the nation's pocket'

As the IMM trial continues for its third day in Silivri, a post on the X account of CHP's imprisoned presidential candidate and IMM Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu stated: "The lies and slanders of the malicious March 19 coup plotters will stick in their throats. The person who wrote this scenario and gave the order is the President. The person who took the order, carried it out, and continues all these unlawful acts is a former chief prosecutor disguised as a politician. The reward for the operations is a ministry; the cost, as one year has passed, has reached 250 billion dollars. This price has come out of the nation's pocket."

İmamoğlu reveals the cost of the March 19 operation! 'This price has come out of the nation's pocket'

The first hearing of the investigation launched by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on March 19, 2025, regarding allegations of corruption at the IMM, began on March 9, 2026.

The first two days of the hearing, held in the courtroom at Silivri Prison, were marked by arguments between CHP's imprisoned presidential candidate and IMM Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and the judge. The tension in the IMM trial continues on its third day.

While the hearing was ongoing, a striking post was made from İmamoğlu's Presidential Candidate Office account.

Emphasizing that AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gave the order for the March 19 operation, İmamoğlu noted that the 1-year cost of the operations was 250 billion dollars and that this price came out of the citizens' pockets.

The post made from İmamoğlu's account is as follows:

"The lies and slanders of the malicious March 19 coup plotters will stick in their throats.

The person who wrote this scenario and gave the order is the President.

The person who took the order, carried it out, and continues all these unlawful acts is a former chief prosecutor disguised as a politician. 

The reward for the operations is a ministry; the cost, as one year has passed, has reached 250 billion dollars.

This price has come out of the nation's pocket.

It is also clear how this mentality and oppressive regime, in pursuit of office, position, and interest, have wrapped around state institutions like the arms of an octopus.

There is only one explanation for this indictment of slander: A person judges others by themselves!

Our nation is eager to send you away!"
