Kızılay General Manager İbrahim Altan, who sold 'tents', resigns

Following Kerem Kınık's resignation on May 12, Kızılay General Manager İbrahim Altan has also resigned.

The Kızılay Board of Directors decided on December 3 to "abolish the position of 'Kızılay General Manager - CEO' and transfer all authorities held by this position to the Kızılay Secretary General." It was stated that İbrahim Altan "left his post due to retirement." The high salary Altan received during his tenure also caused controversy.

Following Kerem Kınık's resignation on May 12, İbrahim Altan, the General Manager of Kızılay, which had been on the agenda due to tent sales and irregularities, also resigned. Altan had been convicted in the Deniz Feneri Association case in Germany, which was described as the "corruption of the century," and was appointed as Kızılay General Manager in 2017.

HE HAD BEEN CONVICTED OF "BREACH OF TRUST"

Altan, who was convicted in 2013 on charges of "breach of trust" in the Deniz Feneri Association case, is also known as the father-in-law of Ahmet Büyükgümüş, a member of the Presidential Social Policies Board and AKP Yalova Deputy. Altan's daughter, Reyyan Beyza Büyükgümüş, had served as a board member on the Turkey Youth NGOs Platform alongside President Erdoğan's son, Bilal Erdoğan.
