A trustee has been appointed to 24 companies, including İmamoğlu Construction.
It was reported that the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) appointed direct trustees for 24 companies owned by 101 individuals and supervisory trustees for 28 companies.
It was learned that trustees were appointed to 24 companies within the scope of investigations in which Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and about 100 others were detained on March 19. According to a report in Habertürk, among the companies that were assigned trustees are İmamoğlu Construction, Nuhoğlu Construction, ASOY Construction, and Karsal Knitting Inc. The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had opened an investigation against İmamoğlu and those detained with him on charges of "being a leader of a criminal organization," "being a member of a criminal organization," "extortion," "bribery," "qualified fraud," "unlawfully obtaining personal data," and "tampering with a tender." It was stated that the trustees were appointed within the scope of these investigations.
The trial of 'Akın Gürlek' was postponed to June 16. The hearing of the case opened against İmamoğlu due to his statements directed at Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor Akın Gürlek, who is currently detained at Marmara Prison in Silivri, was also held on Friday. It was reported that the trial was postponed to June 16. Speaking at the hearing, İmamoğlu said, "Years ago, I followed the Ergenekon conspiracy case within this campus. I am detained today because I won against the will that says whoever wins Istanbul wins Turkey. I am here because I won the Istanbul elections three times. I am here because I was determined as a presidential candidate for the next election by the will of fifteen and a half million people. I am here because I opposed lies, corruption, and plunder while managing the city."
