New development in the IMM investigation where KİPTAŞ Manager Ali Kurt was arrested: Fraud suspects have become witnesses

A new development has occurred regarding two individuals who were heard as witnesses during the interrogation of KİPTAŞ General Manager Ali Kurt, who was arrested as part of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) investigation.

It has been revealed that Müge Deliler and Ulaş Yılmaz, who testified that Ali Kurt had solicited bribes, are under investigation by the Küçükçekmece Chief Public Prosecutor's Office for alleged fraud in a separate case.

THEY MADE BRIBERY ALLEGATIONS

Deliler and Yılmaz, who approached the prosecutor's office as part of the investigation, claimed that they faced difficulties in KİPTAŞ projects and that some employees had demanded bribes. However, it was determined that these two individuals had previously been accused of fraud in another file.

COMPLAINT AGAINST 6 PEOPLE

According to the report by Fırat Fıstık from SÖZCÜ, a criminal complaint filed with the Küçükçekmece Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on November 8, 2024, included complaints against 6 people, including Müge Deliler.

In the petition submitted by citizens identified as G.S. and M.Ç., it was also stated that two of the suspects were close relatives of Deliler.

THEY COLLECTED MILLIONS OF LIRA THROUGH A PONZI SCHEME

According to the complaint, it is alleged that Müge Deliler and her close circle purchased real estate at low prices through construction projects and sold these properties to many people, primarily foreigners, with the promise of high profits. The structure, organized like a family business, gave the impression of investing while collecting money from the market. However, according to the complainants' allegations, the collected money was later moved out of the company and real estate was purchased in the names of trusted individuals.

LOST 16 MILLION LIRA, COULD NOT RECOVER IT

One of the citizens who claimed to have been defrauded stated that they lost a total of 16 million 250 thousand TL. The victim, stating that they were stalled despite repeated attempts to communicate, said they were deceived with the promise of monthly profit payments.

Despite all these allegations, the testimony of Müge Deliler, who is under a fraud investigation, was taken into account in the IMM investigation.

Following Deliler's bribery allegations, KİPTAŞ General Manager Ali Kurt was detained and subsequently arrested and sent to prison.
