The operation was carried out in the morning by teams from the Financial Crimes Department. Police allegedly detected the presence of a gang that abused the marine vehicle tax exemption. Investigations found that the gang intended to purchase fuel for non-existent marine vehicles.

22 MILLION LOSSES

According to the first determination of the financial police, it was revealed that the state suffered a loss of 22 million lira in the 6-month study. The operation was prepared for the collapse of the criminal network, which caused great damage to the state due to the absence of SCT in marine vehicles. This morning raids were organized in 12 provinces to arrest 60 people against whom an arrest warrant was issued.

ALTINBASLAR IS ALSO DETAINED

35 suspects were arrested in the operation. As part of the investigation, it emerged that the chairman of the board of directors of the University of Altınbaş, Ali Altınbaş, and the president of the Altınbaş Foundation, Sofu Altınbaş, were also detained. It was claimed that Sofu Altınbaş was released after his testimony due to health problems.

The suspects are charged with “establishing a criminal organization”, “membership”, “qualified fraud”, “falsification of official documents”.
