Former Ankara Mayor to Testify Over Money Transfer Claims
Former Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek will give a statement to prosecutors in the capital on Sept. 4, over allegations that he transferred money to his companies abroad through undeclared transactions, media reported on Sept. 2.
The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office last week announced that it launched an investigation into allegations that undeclared funds had been transferred to Gökçek’s companies abroad.
Gökçek said in a social media post that the investigation was launched following allegations made against him by journalist Murat Ağırel.
“By God’s will, I have nothing to answer for. I will provide the necessary information to the prosecutors. I entrust myself to Turkish justice,” Gökçek said.
Gökçek has been summoned to give his statement as a suspect at 4 p.m. on Sept. 4, media reports said, citing legal sources.
Ağırel said in a post on X on Aug. 30 that the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office contacted him and asked him to testify as a witness.
The journalist gave his statement at the Ankara Courthouse on Aug. 31.
