New details in the SGK operation in Antalya! MASAK reports added to the file

New details have emerged regarding the bribery investigation conducted at the Antalya Provincial Directorate of the Social Security Institution (SGK).

According to reports in the local press, the file prepared within the scope of the investigation includes interrogation transcripts, money transfer records, HTS data, and financial audit reports. It was stated that the documents contain allegations of millions of liras in bribes.

It was learned that the investigation began with an application made by former Antalyaspor President Sinan Boztepe.

In his statement, Boztepe alleged that SGK Antalya Provincial Director Mehmet Tanrıöver demanded 1 million liras from him in exchange for restructuring Antalyaspor's SGK debts and issuing a "no debt" certificate to the club.

According to the information in the file, it was alleged that 800 thousand liras of this money was handed over in person at a business in Konyaaltı, and the remaining 200 thousand liras were sent to the bank account of the suspect Murat Akkaş.

It was noted that investigations by the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) determined that the money in question was subsequently transferred to different accounts.

ALLEGATION OF 2 MILLION LIRAS FROM ANOTHER COMPLAINANT

It was stated that a person named H. P.C. A., who is listed as a complainant in the file, also alleged that 2 million liras were demanded from them in exchange for completing a transaction at the SGK.

According to the statements, the money was delivered at a cafe in Konyaaltı to E.B., who is alleged to have acted as an intermediary and for whom an arrest warrant has been issued.

Within the scope of the investigation, money and check movements between certain companies were also examined. It was learned that it is being investigated whether the money transfers made through checks issued by a company operating in the ready-mixed concrete sector are linked to the bribery allegations.

STATED HE WANTED TO BENEFIT FROM EFFECTIVE REMORSE

The file also includes the statements of suspect Murat Akkaş, who stated that he wanted to benefit from the provisions of effective remorse.

Akkaş alleged that at a hotel he visited with Mehmet Tanrıöver, he saw Tanrıöver leaving the side of the hotel owner, Uysal T., with a bag full of money.

In his statement, Akkaş claimed that a few days later, Tanrıöver gave him 1 million liras and asked for this money to be deposited into his account, while the hotel owner, U.T., stated that he did not accept this allegation.

U.T. declared that he sent 60 thousand liras through Murat Akkaş under the pretext of "aid" in order to avoid problems at the hotel.

Akkaş also stated that upon Tanrıöver's instructions, he demanded 500 thousand liras from the hotel, but the hotel owner refused to make the payment. The suspect alleged that in the middle of the season, Tanrıöver also gave him 240 thousand liras, which he took out of the trunk of his car, to keep in his account.

It was reported that the file contains allegations that a total of over 5 million liras is being evaluated within the scope of bribery.

SGK Antalya Provincial Director Mehmet Tanrıöver, Murat Akkaş, and Ramazan Bulut, who were detained in the operation carried out on May 19 within the scope of the investigation, were arrested by the Antalya 2nd Criminal Court of Peace to which they were referred.
