He kept it from everyone... Another person arrested in the corruption investigation!

A new phase has been reached in the "corruption" investigation into the Büyükçekmece Municipality, which is being conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and was first reported to the public on May 8.

The investigation has placed under scrutiny the construction permits and occupancy permit processes issued in the district during the period covering January 1, 2015, to May 7, 2025.

The prosecutor's office requested that a comprehensive list of documents and information be prepared by the Büyükçekmece Municipality regarding the following details for that period:

Which projects were granted construction permits,

Which companies or individuals carried out the projects,

Which projects were granted occupancy permits,

And details such as what the construction projects in question were.

In this context, it was requested that the official records belonging to the municipality be delivered to the Istanbul Police Department.

KEMAL ŞAHİN ARRESTED QUIETLY

As the investigation continued, it emerged that Kemal Şahin, Chairman of the Board of Şahinler Holding, was one of the key figures mentioned in the file. According to reports by Sözcü, as a result of the proceedings conducted against Kemal Şahin, an arrest warrant was issued, and the businessman was quietly taken into custody and arrested.

While his arrest was not announced to the public, it is alleged that he told those around him that he was abroad.

It was also noted that Kemal Şahin, who hid his arrest, shared a video on his social media account two days ago claiming to be in Egypt.
