4 million lira heist: Lawyer sister of Aziz İhsan Aktaş, who accused CHP mayors, defrauded TEDAŞ!

It has emerged that Melek Kara, the lawyer sister of Aziz İhsan Aktaş—who was detained on charges of establishing a criminal organization, released after becoming a whistleblower, and played a leading role in the arrest of numerous CHP mayors through his slanders—was involved in a fraud case.

HEIST WITH FORGED DOCUMENTS

According to the report by Özgür Cebe from Sözcü, Kara embezzled a large sum of money from TEDAŞ using forged documents between 2019 and 2021.

It was determined that during her time as a lawyer at TEDAŞ, Melek Kara defrauded the institution through 32 separate transactions by creating forged documents. Through these transactions, an amount exceeding 4 million lira was embezzled. TEDAŞ filed a criminal complaint against Kara, requesting that she be tried for 'forgery of official documents' and 'defrauding a public institution.'

The enforcement files that Kara created with forged documents could not be found in the UYAP system. It was determined that debt payments were issued to TEDAŞ using these documents. It was discovered that Kara transferred the money to her own account by using the accounts of her nephew, Ferhat Aktaş, and her child's nanny, Gülistan Ayaz.

USED FAMILY AND RELATIVES

Melek Kara directed the payment orders she created with forged documents to the accounts of her nephew Ferhat Aktaş and her nanny Gülistan Ayaz. Ferhat Aktaş, explaining the transfers his aunt made to him, said, 'My aunt told me it was a back-pay payment and sent the money back after I deposited it into my account.'

Gülistan Ayaz, on the other hand, stated that Kara wanted to use her account, saying, 'Ms. Melek said she would make an investment for her child and wanted to use my account. I trusted her good intentions and gave her my card.'

SAID 'I REGRET IT' IN COURT, WAS RELEASED

Accepting the accusations in court, Melek Kara stated that she resorted to this path to save money for her child's autism treatment. Kara said, 'I regret what I have done and I have covered the institution's losses.' It also emerged that Kara sent the money she received from TEDAŞ with forged documents to the account of jeweler Ahmet Yüksel to purchase gold.

The court lifted Kara's house arrest and international travel ban, while deciding that the blocks on her bank accounts should remain in place. An expert report was requested to determine whether the damage has been fully covered.
