AKP Ankara Provincial Deputy Chairman Serkan Korkutata was also detained in the 'Sarıgül' investigation

The 'Sarıgül' investigation, which was carried out on the allegation of 'laundering assets resulting from crime', also extended to the AKP.

As part of the investigation in which Emir Sarıgül, the son of NEW Party Istanbul Erzincan Deputy Mustafa Sarıgül, was also arrested, AKP Ankara Provincial Deputy Chairman Serkan Korkutata was detained.

According to the news of Büşra Cebeci from Gazete Rüzgar, Serkan Korkutata, the son of the closed Welfare Party deputy Hüsamettin Korkutata and the nephew of AKP Bingöl Deputy Zeki Korkutata, was taken from Istanbul, where he was detained, to Ankara, where the investigation was carried out.

It is also known that Korkutata, who is a board member of Maritza İnşaat, of which Emir Sarıgül is among the founders, was among the shareholders of Beyaz TV, which was associated with the Melih Gökçek family in the past.

The name of detained AKP member Serkan Korkutata is also remembered with the tenders that companies belonging to his family received from the municipality during AKP member Melih Gökçek's term as Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor.

56 TENDERS DURING GÖKÇEK'S PERIOD

In Cumhuriyet's news in 2019, based on the findings of municipal inspectors, it was stated that Serkan and Fuat Korkutata brothers received 56 tenders from the municipality through nine different companies between 2013 and 2017.

The rental of 60 kiosks at Metro and Ankaray stations to companies affiliated with the Korkutata family was also a matter of discussion, and it was reported in the press that within the scope of the contracts signed on July 11, 2017, each of the kiosks was rented for 875 lira per month.
