Corruption allegations during the Gökçek era: Nearly 100 files sent to the prosecutor's office! The 'Moldovan masseuse' detail

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayor Mansur Yavaş, who visited Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu at the Silivri Prison where he is being held, brought up the corruption files related to Melih Gökçek once again in his statement following the visit, saying, "I have submitted nearly 100 files in Ankara. To this day, Mr. Gökçek has not even been called to testify. Therefore, it is impossible to speak of law and justice in such an environment. Mr. Özdağ's detention has exceeded 2 months and there is no indictment. Unfortunately, lawlessness prevails in our country."

According to the report by Mustafa Bildircin from BirGün, it was learned that the total public loss in the files sent to the prosecutor's office is 3 billion TL.

Some of the transactions reported to the prosecutor's office, which raise suspicions that public resources were used for rent-seeking purposes during the Gökçek era, are listed as follows:

2 MILLION TL TO OSMANLISPOR IN 1 YEAR

The company that undertook the construction of the cable car in Ankara was granted an unfair time extension through irregular work increases. It is also alleged that the contractor firm obtained the tender file in advance, and it was stated that a total of 43 million TL was paid to the company along with the work increases.

It was determined that the value of the ABB subsidiary BEL-YA, which was privatized for 9 million TL in 2012, was actually 26.7 million TL. It was also determined that millions of liras were transferred to the company from the municipal budget after the privatization.

2 million TL was spent from the municipal budget in one year for the Yenikent Stadium, which was transferred to Osmanlıspor free of charge for 25 years.

MOLDOVAN MANUAL THERAPIST ASSIGNED TO THE PRESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE

The report also alleges that it was documented that Ana A., a Moldovan national hired as a manual therapist at the municipal subsidiary Anket A.Ş., was assigned to the presidential residence; it was noted that Ana A., who worked with a monthly salary of 3,800 TL, was sent from the presidential residence back to the company one month before Gökçek resigned.

A public property was unlawfully given to FETÖ members through deliberate and planned council decisions and zoning changes.

576 MILLION LIRA LOSS FROM JUST 1 TENDER

In a project that ANFA tendered for 1.7 billion TL in 2015, the municipality incurred a loss of 576 million TL.

A total borrowing authorization of 536 million TL was obtained from the ABB Council on the grounds of renovating the Tatlar Wastewater Treatment Plant, but this money was used for other unrelated projects.
