Font size

The 55-page indictment prepared within the scope of the investigation carried out by the Bolu Chief Public Prosecutor's Office was accepted by the Bolu 3rd High Criminal Court. In the indictment, which lists the Ministry of Internal Affairs as "the victim of the crime" and Bolu Municipality and BOL TUR AŞ as the "victim", it is claimed that the defendants made unfair profits by making irregularities in food parcel purchases, vehicle rentals and the transfer of the municipality's workplace.

It was learned that the investigation deepened with the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) report. It was emphasized in the report that it was determined that 7 million 42 thousand liras were paid from BOL TUR AŞ to the account of the detained defendant Mustafa Altındal in March 2024. According to the indictment, prices were staggered in the tender for the purchase of 15 thousand boxes of dry food in 2024, ensuring that the tender remained in Altındal. During the delivery phase, although 12 thousand parcels were delivered, it was shown on the documents as 15 thousand parcels were received. 900 thousand lira, which is the equivalent of 3 thousand parcels that were not delivered, was transferred to BOL TUR AŞ through the supplier companies. It was claimed that embezzlement was made by transferring funds to the personal bank account of Özgür Nihat Yıldız, who is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors. It was noted that in the Ramadan package tender, 364 thousand liras were transferred to Yıldız's account with a similar method, and a total of 1 million 110 thousand 979 liras of public loss was incurred.

The luxury vehicle that detained defendant Yıldız paid for himself was purchased by the contractor İ.Ç. It was stated that he had it registered in his name and rented it to BOL TUR AŞ and that he caused an undue payment of 446 thousand 475 lira from the company budget while using the vehicle personally. Additionally, allegations that Yıldız received a bribe of 250 thousand liras during the transfer of a workplace owned by the municipality were included in the file. On the other hand, it was also learned that a separate investigation was launched into allegations that Yıldız's brother-in-law, police officer M.K., threatened witnesses.

In the indictment prepared, a prison sentence of 4 to 12 years was requested for the detained defendant Yıldız for the crime of "bribery", 2 times of 8 years, 16 months and 15 days to 31 years and 6 months for the crime of "chain embezzlement", 3 times of 3 to 7 years for the crime of "tender rigging", and 2 times of 3 to 7 years of imprisonment for the crime of "rigging the performance of an act". In the indictment, a prison sentence of 3 years, 9 months to 12 years and 3 months was requested for the arrested defendant Altındal for the crime of "sequentially rigging the performance of an act", 3 years to 7 years for the crime of "tender rigging", and 3 years, 1 month and 15 days to 10 years and 6 months in prison for the crime of "aiding embezzlement in a chain". Defendants B.M., F.K. and H.G. were requested to be sentenced to imprisonment from 3 to 7 years each for the crime of "tender rigging". In the indictment, other defendants G.M, H.K, M.A, S.K, S.G, S.G. and V.Y. While a prison sentence of 3 to 7 years was requested for O.Ö. for the crime of "complicating the performance of the act", O.Ö. A prison sentence of 3 to 7 years is requested for him for the crime of "rigging the execution of an act" and a prison sentence of 3 to 7 years for the crime of "rigging a tender". In the indictment, İ.Ç. A prison sentence of 3 years, 9 months to 12 years and 3 months is requested for the crime of "sequential bid rigging", and a prison sentence of 3 years, 9 months to 12 years and 3 months for the crime of "sequential embezzlement", and a prison sentence of 8 years, 16 months, 15 days to 31 years and 6 months for the crime of "chain embezzlement".
