Eray Karadeniz continues to be a subject of controversy after being elected as the Mayor of Gaziosmanpaşa. Regarding Karadeniz, whose messages praising FETÖ have surfaced,
A striking truth was revealed by Şule Aydın, Murat Ağırel, Barış Pehlivan, Timur Soykan, and Barış Terkoğlu, who host a program on the YouTube channel called Onlar.
According to information provided by Barış Pehlivan based on court records, Eray Karadeniz received a salary for many years at İSPARK without ever performing any duties.
Here are the statements made by Pehlivan regarding Eray Karadeniz, whom he exposed as a ghost employee:
"I won't remind you of his tweets praising FETÖ; I will remind you of more important things! It is claimed how hardworking and a 'volunteer of service' Karadeniz is. We are bursting this big bubble right now...
When you look at Eray Karadeniz's biography, you see the work he has done, but there is information he is hiding there... Eray Karadeniz worked at İSPARK for many years! Then, the IMM (Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality) severed its relationship with Eray Karadeniz! Upon this, Karadeniz filed a reinstatement lawsuit, and we are publishing the transcripts of that reinstatement lawsuit...
The lawsuit between the then-İSPARK chief Eray Karadeniz and İSPARK...
İSPARK brought witnesses to the courtroom... This man claims he worked well, but the witnesses brought to the court say the following, according to the transcripts from the 2021 case...
Here is the testimony of an employee:
I have been working as parking staff since 2012; I do not know the plaintiff Eray Karadeniz... I have never heard his name before and I have not worked with him...
Another person who says, 'I have been working for 15 years,' also says, 'I have not seen Karadeniz either'... They say, 'We heard his name as our chief, but I never saw his face'...
He filed a reinstatement lawsuit against İSPARK, but it is said that this man is a ghost employee, someone who earned money without working...
The person we are talking about is Gaziosmanpaşa Mayor Eray Karadeniz...
Here is the court's decision transcript...
He worked at İSPARK between 2010 and 2020...
The court conducted its examination and stated in its decision that the dismissal of this man was procedurally appropriate because this man was earning money but not working, was practicing law without following proper procedures, and the allegations of mobbing were invalid; thus, Eray Karadeniz's lawsuit for reinstatement to the IMM was rejected. In 2021...
This man, who earned money without going to work, was brought to lead us a few years later, calling it a 'festival of democracy.' They put mayors in prison under the pretext of fighting corruption, and we are now revealing the corruption document of the man they brought in his place.
Here is the document and here is the final judgment...
