Long-barreled weapon in the trunk of a vehicle belonging to TÜGVA: Striking claim from journalist Akinan

Journalist Serdar Akinan's report centers on Bilal Erdoğan, focusing on foundations that have come to the fore during the AKP government and serve as significant areas of organization.

Akinan shared images from the trunk of a vehicle he claims belongs to TÜGVA. Sharing images of a long-barreled weapon and a handgun, Akinan asked, "Are these the long-barreled weapons removed from state warehouses on the night of July 15? What are these weapons doing in a TÜGVA vehicle?"

The images and the post have created the impression of a new front in the internal power struggle within the AKP.

It has been stated that Bilal Erdoğan's name has recently come to the fore in the power struggle within the AKP, which has been ongoing for a long time and includes the post-Erdoğan era. Following these claims, the news about TÜGVA, centered on Bilal Erdoğan, has caused a major stir today.

Akinan, who also shared the vehicle's license plate information and a photograph he claims was taken on the day it was donated to TÜGVA, stated that Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Enes Eminoğlu was also present in another photograph taken earlier with the same vehicle, and he shared this image as well.

CLAIM OF "ORGANIZING WITH FETÖ TACTICS"

Stating that TÜGVA is organized in 81 provinces and has 400 thousand volunteers, Akinan claimed that TÜGVA is organized using the exact same tactics as FETÖ. One of the striking parts of the file disclosed by Akinan was the correspondence said to demonstrate TÜGVA's power within the prosecutor's offices and the police department.

Sharing notes from the foundation's WhatsApp correspondence, Akinan said, "The situation has reached such a point that the correspondence mentions taking over the AKP and taking over the AKP organization."

It is understood from the shared correspondence that an individual with ties to TÜGVA has obtained the foundation's internal communications regarding appointments, bribery, and compromising images, and is using them to threaten TÜGVA. The TÜGVA executives in the group, meanwhile, claim that the police and the prosecutor's office are on their side.

Despite this, one person in the group, who is quite anxious, allegedly even writes a note suggesting that the person in question be "executed inside." Meanwhile, there are demands for all computers at the AKP Headquarters to be wiped.

Following the information he shared, Akinan said, "I am currently in horror. Seeing the incoming correspondence and emails... I only suspected there was corruption and irregularity. We are facing a structure that continues with the same pattern as FETÖ."

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SHARED POSTS...

While Akinan announced that the files would continue to be shared, the context of the incident has become a subject of curiosity.

These initial pieces of information disclosed bring to mind the TÜGVA data case.

In the case concluded in 2023, the sharing of documents alleging that TÜGVA had placed hundreds of people in the military, police, and other public institutions, and that it kept personnel records on these individuals, had been the subject of an indictment.

In the indictment prepared following police house raids, it was stated that Ramazan Aydoğdu had obtained TÜGVA data and sent it to Cihan Yücel, and a prison sentence of 3 to 10 years and 6 months was requested for each.

The court sentenced Ramazan Aydoğdu to a total of 2 years and 1 month in prison, consisting of 1 year and 8 months for "unlawfully obtaining or disseminating data" and 5 months for "obstructing, disrupting, destroying, or altering the system." The court deferred the announcement of the verdict for this sentence. The court had also decided to separate Cihan Yücel's file.
