The operation, which began on July 4 when Deputy Mayor M. E.T. was caught red-handed receiving a 110 thousand euro bribe inside a baklava box at Manavgat Municipality, resulted in the detention of numerous individuals, including Manavgat Mayor Niyazi Nefi Kara. Following their procedures at the police station, Mehmet T. and businessmen Şükrü I., Mesut K., İlker G., Mehmet Ali F., and Kemal T. were referred to the Manavgat Courthouse yesterday, where all 6 were arrested after their statements were taken by the prosecutor and sent to prison.
